The tool will provide you with different options for getting around the city within the TriMet system. Simply enter \"Portland State University\" as your destination, or the address \"1825 SW Parkway.\" The campus is located in the heart of downtown, and is accessible via the TriMet system from virtually anywhere in Portland.\n\nPortland is also an excellent city for walking and riding your bike. Consider renting a bike from\u00a0numerous rental shops. Unfortunately, we do not have a pay-by-the-hour bike rental system yet.\n\nIf you are planning to drive a vehicle, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pdx.edu\/transportation\/hourly-visitor-parking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hourly metered parking<\/a>\u00a0available, with reduced rates on the weekend.\n\nFeel free to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leansixsigmaenvironment.org\/index.php\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a> if you have questions about getting to and from the training.\n--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Logistics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lunch will NOT\u00a0be provided.
