Getting Around
The yellow line is only 2 blocks away and can get you downtown in about 20 minutes! Walk down the driveway and turn right. You’ll see the train stop when you get to Interstate Ave (2nd cross street). The stop you see from N Highland is south toward downtown (City Center/Milwaukie). To reach the northbound stop (Expo Center) turn left on Interstate and cross Rosa Parks at the stoplight.
Oddly, the yellow line becomes the orange line as you travel further south - but rest assured it is all the same MAX line (no need to deboard in you don’t need to transfer).
