Public transit

• TriMet - From Marquam Hill Campus, the 8 Bus is the main line to and from downtown. Departures are approximately every 10-15 minutes. The 8 bus intersects with both the MAX and Streetcar. Other bus routes at OHSU are: 61,64,65,66,68.

Parking can be tricky at OHSU's main campus on Marquam Hill. We encourage visitors to use rideshare, public transit or taxi when possible. If you do drive, please plan ahead and know where you will be parking. You can visit OHSU's Transportation & Parking site to learn more about where to park and current daily rates. To purchase an all-day virtual parking permit, go to OHSU Daily Permits.
