In the weeks leading up to the 10 year anniversary, Portland's transportation system was shut down by historic storms. The tram was the only transportation system that was not heavily impacted by the storm and instead worked overtime to deliver people safely to work, school, and home.
Although the tram can be a safe bet in snowy conditions, traveling to the tram through downtown Portland during a snowstorm is not recommended. Riders during a storm are typically people in need of or providing essential health care.
When transit is impacted by weather, check GoByTram.com to see if the tram will modify operations.
