The BBC program Newsnight has a long segment on alternative transportation in Portland. There is a video stream at http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsa/n5ctrl/tvseq/od/bbc2/nb/rm/video/newsnight_nb.ram, but since that appears to be a generic address, I'm not sure how long it with have the current episode (the Portland segment starts about 24 minutes into the 50 minute program).
The program covers everything from MAX to the recent car-free challenge to the Tram (Sam is on-air) to Flexcar to a recent bike move. Curiously the on-air talent is the vice-chair of the Conservative Party. It's sort of as if Denny Hastert were doing segments on CBS.

Jason McHuff Says:
This appears to be the permanent link to the video. And the BBC is certainly not the first group to tour the Portland transport system--Las Vegas, for instance, also has a video of their tour.
