Transportation


Getting around Lake Oswego is easy, and it may get even easier as options like streetcar, water taxis, and new pathways are explored. Tri-Met operates regular bus service in town and our businesses are pedestrian and bicyclist friendly. Construction projects on roads are conducted in the quickest and least disruptive manner possible. The Transportation Advisory Board makes decisions and recommendations to the City Council about these types of issues.


Explore alternatives to driving alone, both for the transportation benefits – including reduced congestion, pollution, and parking demand – as well as the personal benefits. Alternatives can help you keep fit, save you money, and help the regional transportation system run smoothly.

Willamette Shore Trolley
The historic Willamette Shore Trolley takes you on a beautiful journey along the Willamette River in a authentic antique trolley car along a line that boasts trestles, tunnels and street running. Both ends of the line, at Lake Oswego and Portland, offer numerous shops and restaurants to explore and enjoy. The one-way trip is 45 minutes long. Allow 2 hours for round trip travel.
