Welcome to the Franklin Athletics Game Day Bus Map. This resource is designed to help you navigate transportation options on game days, ensuring you can support our teams with ease.

Below, you'll find the bus routes and schedules that service our home games. We encourage all fans to use public transportation when possible to reduce traffic and promote a sustainable environment.

Make sure to check the bus schedule ahead of time to plan your journey. Arriving early allows you to enjoy the pre-game festivities and cheer on our athletes as they prepare for the competition.

For any updates or changes to the bus routes, please refer to our website or contact the Franklin Athletics office. We look forward to seeing you at the games!

Planning Your Trip to Franklin on Game Day

A bus map is only half the picture; a little planning makes the whole trip smoother. Franklin High School sits in Southeast Portland, and TriMet is the regional transit provider, so the most reliable source for live arrival times, detours and service alerts is TriMet's own trip planner or app. Check it on the day of the game as well as the night before, because weekend and evening service can differ from weekday timetables, and big events elsewhere in the city sometimes cause reroutes.

Timing your arrival

Evening games often end after peak service has thinned out, so look up your return trip before you leave home. Note the last convenient departure back to your neighbourhood and keep a backup plan, such as a ride from a friend or a second route that gets you close enough to walk. If you want a good seat for a rivalry game or a playoff matchup, aim to arrive well before kickoff or tip-off; crowds and ticket lines build quickly in the final half hour.

Tips for students and families

  • Pay ahead: load fare onto a transit card or phone before you travel so you are not fumbling at the stop.
  • Travel in groups: younger students should ride with a friend or adult, especially after dark, and agree on a meeting spot after the final whistle.
  • Pack light: many school venues limit bags, so bring only what you need, plus layers for Portland's damp evenings.
  • Accessibility: TriMet buses are wheelchair accessible; if you need assistance at the venue, contact the athletics office in advance.

Walking and cycling

For fans who live nearby, walking or biking is often quicker than waiting for a connection. Southeast Portland has a dense network of neighbourhood greenways that are pleasant for cycling, and bringing a sturdy lock is wise. Wear lights and reflective gear for the ride home after night games.

Before heading out, confirm the date, time and location on the game schedule, since some contests are played at other sites. You can find details on seating, entrances and amenities on our facilities page.
