The Cascades West Ride Line’s objective is to coordinate transportation services for eligible Oregon Health Plan (OHP), Medicaid, and select Medicare clients traveling to and from covered non-emergency medical services. Transportation is provided to those OHP eligible clients living in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties who have no other way to get to their medical services.
CWRide is an online platform that provides a seamless transit experience for residents and visitors of Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties through generous funding through the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Funding Discretionary Grant Program, and in partnership with Albany Transit System, Corvallis Transit System, Lincoln County Transit System, Benton County Transportation Services, Linn Shuttle, Lebanon Inter-Neighborhood Xpress, and Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments (OCWCOG).
Existing park and ride lots are located throughout the Region. The lots are free to use for connections to transit, carpools, and vanpools. The map and list below show the locations currently available for park and ride use.
Get There is Oregon’s free ride matching and trip planning tool that makes it easier than ever to take advantage of transportation options like carpooling, vanpooling, walking biking, and riding transit. You can find walking or biking partners, log trips to be entered to win cool prizes, and calculate just how much money and CO2 you’ve saved! It’s quick, easy, and secure.
If you commute to work by bike, bus, carpool/vanpool, or walking, you may be concerned with how to get home quickly in case of an emergency. The Emergency Ride Home (ERH) program is here to help. ERH is a FREE service providing a trip home by taxi ($50 maximum per trip) or rental car, if you or a family member experiences an illness or emergency, including a home emergency. You also can use ERH if you have unscheduled overtime (supervisor’s approval required) or your carpool/vanpool driver has an emergency and leaves early.
Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are federally mandated and funded organizations focused on transportation policy-making. The goal of an MPO is to allocate investments and resources in alignment with the region’s goals and in collaboration with governments, interested parties, and residents.

The Corvallis Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), established in 2002, is the designated MPO for the cities of Corvallis, Philomath, and Adair Village, and adjacent portions of Benton County.
CAMPO coordinates transportation planning efforts in the Corvallis area, serves as a forum for cooperative decision-making, coordinates regional transit and specialized projects, and works closely with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).
