Parking at Moda Center

Electric vehicle charging is available throughout the Rose Quarter, with charging offered on a first‑come, first‑served basis for guests who have paid for parking. Oversized vehicles and buses are typically directed to the Benton Surface Lot when available.

Public Transit

Public transit is one of the easiest ways to get to and from the Rose Quarter on gameday. The campus is served by TriMet’s MAX Light Rail system, with four lines stopping directly at or adjacent to the arena. Additional MAX service is typically added on game days to help accommodate event traffic.

Several TriMet bus lines also serve the Rose Quarter Transit Center, located directly next to the arena. A valid fare is required for all trips, and guests may pay using contactless credit or debit cards, mobile wallets, or the Hop Fastpass system.

For trip planning tools, fare details, and transit maps, visit the Rose Quarter Directions & Transportation page.

Rideshare

Rideshare services provide a convenient option for fans who prefer not to drive or take transit. Designated pick‑up and drop‑off zones are located along NE Multnomah Street and NE Wheeler Avenue near the east entry of the arena. These locations are clearly marked and managed on event days to help keep traffic moving.

Fans should note that rideshare demand may increase following the game, and longer wait times are common during peak exit periods.
