I would be happy to spend the day driving big carloads of people to the port shutdown. I live out in Sandy, so I could start there bringing Sandy or Gresham people to the ports then go where people need pickups. I can do that all day!
Email me at seytaselter@gmail.com if you want me to pick up your group, or if there is a meetup point downtown or something that I can just make a regular route to/from.
I live off of 128th/SE Foster. I could use a ride down to this in the morning. I would also be willing to meet you at your place if you live around East county. I also have no problem chipping in for gas

I will be driving up from Salem and can bring more people up with me or help arrange rides from this area if needed. I believe we will have at least two or three minivans caravanning up. We will be meeting this weekend to figure out our exact plans.
I live in Keizer and plan on going up for the 6 am picket. I would prefer to catch a ride with someone, but could drive if needed. Send me an email at bnschreiner@gmail.com.
Thanks.
I’ll be heading to the port from SE Woodstock area around 2 and have plenty of room if anyone needs a ride. Shoot me an email at skeeloco@gmail.com.
I live in the North end of the Pearl District and as I’m going alone or with my child and do not drive, I would appreciate a ride that doesn’t mean walking alone in the dark to a pick-up point too far away. I’m happy to contribute to the cost of gas- and as I love to cook, I can provide muffins or quiche.
We be poor folk, livin’ in rent restricted housing, so don’t let the Pearl address fool you…

Would you be able to pick-up on the west side, as there is no transit to your area so early in the morning. I can help w/gas.

Hi John, I would love a ride. I can chip in for gas as well
please e-mail me or call 503 933 7839
I am hoping to head down to the blockade at 6am, and since I have no one to go with, I would like to carpool with 1 or more other people. I can drive, or if you have an extra seat in your car that will work and I can throw in a couple bucks for gas. I live near SE 112th/Powell. I don’t wanna post my email or phone here but you can msg me on Twitter @blucollarbrains. Thanks!

How often are the shuttles from Expo leaving after 6? I can’t get there by 6 because the buses can’t get me there that early but I can be there soon after 6.

Hi All,
I’m working on coordinating drivers and rides. We have set up a new email address, carpool@shutdowntheport.com
Send me an email to that address if you are still looking for transportation, or can provide transportation. We are also looking for people that can help shuttle people throughout the day, so let me know if you are able to help.
Thanks,
Jeff
hey, i’m in SE Pdx and i don’t have a bus that can get me downtown in time for the shuttles. i am living in an apartment in the Sellwood area. last saturday, when i camped overnight, i because unreasonably ill so i simply would like to avoid that. my immune system says no.
however i want nothing more than to dedicate my time to this cause, specifically speaking in this case, shutting down the ports on monday. i am looking for a ride to the shuttles, or a place to stay nearby for that one evening. i’ll even make you a remedial dinner with the ingredients in your home!
please contact me at my email, my facebook or most reliably my phone: 248.515.7397
request for a carpool in SE:
i work at the 24-hour coffee shop at 12th & powell, southeast grind, until about 6 AM
which means i cant make it on the shuttle or carpool with most other people
but if you dont mind leaving slightly later and meeting up at the coffee shop
i would greatly appreciate it.
maybe can hook u up
I still have room to pick up two people in Sandy, Gresham, Boring, or Damascus, or deep southeast by Foster tomorrow morning. We will be to Kelley Point Park by 6am, so email me if you want me to pick you up! seytaselter@gmail.com
Im staying on a friends couch in Lake Oswego right now. The bus system out here runs very rarely. Plus takes a good hr and a half to get to Portland. If anyone happens to be close to the area I would love a ride! Otherwise I will bus down there as soon as I can get on one. Which via bus will probably be about 8am.
Oh, if anyone is out this way you could always also text me at 503-964-0980. thanks!
