All-Door-Able Upgrade at PSU Urban Center Plaza
Posted July 28, 2025 by Streetcar
Beginning Thursday, July 31, streetcar riders using the stop at Portland State University’s Urban Center Plaza will be able to board from both sides of the vehicle. This all-door-able upgrade will make it easier, safer and more accessible to board from the plaza.
With more space to move mobility devices on and off and ability to get on and off from either side of the streetcar, riders can expect easier transfers to TriMet bus and Max light rail on SW 6th Avenue, reduced dwell times at the stop and safer boardings without having to walk in front of the streetcar.
Spot improvements such as this are part of Portland Streetcar’s ongoing commitment to making the rider experience the best it can be.
Riders who may lean against doors while riding should take care when arriving at PSU Urban Center, as the doors will now open on both sides of the streetcar.
Portland Streetcar will continue seeking ways to improve the system by making it as safe, accessible and reliable as possible.
