Expanding Car-Free Access to the Coast
Building on the region’s growing network of car-free travel options, the North Coast Express offers a new, stress-free way to experience the North Coast—no keys required. Riders can enjoy a full day of coastal exploration or plan a longer stay with flexible return-day ticketing.

Morning Departures and Coastal Connections
Each morning, two express routes will depart from the Sunset Transit Center in Beaverton:

• Northbound Express: Seaside → Cannon Beach → Astoria
• Southbound Express: Rockaway Beach → Tillamook Creamery

A midday connector service allows for hop-on, hop-off travel between coastal towns. Both express routes return to Beaverton in the evening, giving passengers ample time to enjoy local attractions, food, and the coastline.

Designed with Comfort in Mind
All buses are equipped with:

• Free WiFi and charging ports
• Onboard restrooms
• Panoramic windows and reclining seats
• Wheelchair lifts for accessible boarding
• Limited storage is available for bikes, surfboards, coolers, and other large items.

A New Way to Experience the People’s Coast
Whether you’re planning a spontaneous day trip or a weekend on the beach, the North Coast Express offers a relaxed, comfortable, and sustainable way to explore the Oregon Coast—at your own pace.
