We highly encourage everyone to use one of our sustainable transportation solutions. Please consider our shuttle service from Portland. The shuttle is an ecological, economical and fun way to get to the festival and back home. If, for some reason, the shuttle doesn't work for you, our rideshare page should help everyone fill their vehicles or find someone to share a ride with.
