Portland: Urban development by aerial tramway The Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) is the largest employer in Portland in the US state of Oregon. All its institutes are concentrated on one campus in the south of the city. Short distances between the individual institutes are essential for employees and patients. However, when the time came for a building expansion, there was no room directly on the campus and a site not far away had to be used. In order to maintain the short distances and easy reach of all the institutes, a reliable link was created with a reversible aerial tramway. The Portland Aerial Tramway (ATW) incorporates two stations, one tower and two cabins. The silvery cabins appear light and airy. As well as offering space for 78 passengers, they can also be used to transport hospital beds. The tramway links up with the streetcar at the South Waterfront Station. Cyclists can park their bikes directly next to the station. The tramway made it possible to better integrate the OHSU into the city and to ensure a close connection between the expansion site and the campus despite the distance between them.
