Transportation Options

The City of Harrisburg is located in Linn County, and as such, belongs to an area that is covered by the Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments.  Amongst other services they offer, they are able to offer transportation solutions to citizens meeting eligibility requirements.  These are some of the options available to the citizens of Harrisburg:

Cascades West Ride Line

• Their objective is to coordinate transportation services for eligible Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and Medicaid clients traveling to and from covered non-emergency medical services.
