Welcome to Portal, the official transportation archive for the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region. The purpose of this project is to implement the U.S. National ITS Architecture's Archived Data User Service for the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region. This system is being developed at Portland State University by students and faculty in the Intelligent Transportation Systems Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Kristin Tufte. We are working in close cooperation with the Oregon Department of Transportation, Metro, the City of Portland, TriMet, the Southwest Washington Regional Transportation Council and other regional partners. This work is supported by grants distributed through Metro and by the Southwest Washingtion Regional Transportation Council , the Oregon Transportation, Research and Education Consortium, the National Science Foundation , and the Federal Highway Administration.

We welcome your participation in our project. The current PORTAL system archives a wide variety of transportation-related data including the freeway loop detector data from the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan region, weather data, incident data, transit data and freight data. We plan to expand the capabilities of our system and to include multimodal data sources, including additional transit data, arterial data and bicycle-pedestrian data from both Oregon and Washington. Please explore the site and let us know what you think. Feedback can be submitted on the Support tab.

PORTAL was founded by Dr. Robert L. Bertini. Dr. Bertini is currently on leave and is serving as the Deputy Administrator of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration [RITA] at the U.S. Department of Transportation.
