Parking for RTG Here are your top three options: 1) Leave your car and use MAX or the Portland Streetcar. The streetcar has a stop right next to St. Mary's and travel is FREE in Fareless Square. 2) Use SmartPark, the cost is only $5 all day on weekends. The nearest garage is between First and Second avenues on Jefferson. 3) The most affordable option is $3 at PSU's Parking Structure #2 on SW Broadway and Mill St. To park in this garage, you must purchase your pass at Structure #1 located at SW Sixth & Harrison - of course you could park at Structure #1 as well, it's just a short jaunt to the venue. These garages are also free after 7pm. There are many other options available including independent lots and street parking. Although the street parking is least desirable as the meters are enforced until 7pm. Drive safely! |
