Services are offered at no charge or at a low-cost.
Ride Connection provides services in the urban and rural communities within the Neighbors-West Northwest boundaries.

You can board and de-board the bus at any stop. Stops include Marshall Union Manner, Gallagher Plaza, Medallion Apartments, Northwest Towers, Rose Schnitzer Tower, 1200 Building, Elm Court Loaves & Fishes, Rosenbaum Plaza, The Morrison, Trader Joe’s and Fred Meyer. There is a Monday and a Saturday loop, but not all stops are included both days.
Another example is the Door To Door service where Ride Connection and their partner agencies provide rides for a wide variety of needs including medical, nutritive, shopping, supportive services, recreational, and volunteer/work-related needs. Service is available Monday through Friday; hours, capacity and days of service vary. You can request a ride thorough their website or over the phone. Pre-registration is required.
