Newport Looks At The Possibility Of A Trolley

The City of Newport invites community members to an open house to share input on a potential trolley system in Newport. The event will take place Tuesday, June 2, at 6 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W. Olive St.

The City is exploring a tourist trolley program to make it easier to get around, reduce congestion, and enhance the visitor and local experience. This concept is being evaluated as a system that could connect Newport’s key business districts, operate at a high frequency, and be free or low-cost to use.

The open house will include a brief presentation, opportunities to tour and interact with the Yachats trolley, and a chance for attendees to provide feedback on priority destinations and possible trolley stops throughout the community.

Snacks will be provided, and BayLee’s Pop-Up will be serving custom beverages. RSVPs are encouraged but not required.
