And some Portlanders never let go of the image of the trolleys and the future they symbolized. So as early as the 1970s, people began plotting to bring back the trolleys. The trolleys have been received with joy and enthusiasm by everyone, whether riders or passers-by who stop to admire the fine craftsmanship and elegant styles of the classic trolley cars. Funds raised by VTI are used for trolley operations. Free trolley service is due in part to passenger donations and generous corporate sponsors.
Trolleys are available for private rental throughout the year, along the light rail tracks.
One wheelchair space is available on each trolley.
