You can take the MAX light rail across it, and bicycle, and walk, and bus, and streetcar. You just cannot drive a car across it.

In honor of Native American peoples, the bridge is named after the local Chinook word for people. 

Combining new transit with environmental concerns and a respect for diversity, Tilikum Crossing is another example of why Portland is a 21st Century city.  

The MAX orange line over Tilikum Crossing stops right near the Portland Hilton & Executive Tower.
