Eugene is located approximately 2 hours south of Portland, Oregon.

By plane

Eugene Airport (EUG), also known as Mahlon Sweet Field, handles flights from Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. It's a few miles out of town, and the public bus does not service it, so you'll have to hire a cab, shuttle, or rent a car.

By train

Amtrak serves Eugene from Seattle, Portland, and Salem, from the north with the Cascade service. With the Coast Startlight service daily, which from southern California up to Seattle, there are many trains. Trains originating from California are notoriously unreliable, commonly several hours late. There is a northbound train that originates in Eugene, the "Cascades" train that is typically much more reliable.

By car

Eugene is a bit over 1 hour from Florence, the closest point on the Pacific Coast. It is a two-hour drive south from Portland, and approximately a 5-hour drive south from Seattle. Traveling north from the California Bay Area takes about 9 hours.

By bus

Greyhound has a fully staffed bus station downtown, close to the Train station and to the LTD (Lane Transit District) local buses. Buses run north/south along I-5, and east.

By Mass Transit
