No William - that would only be the Mayor !
When it comes to rail Portland, Ore. has has it wired. Tri-Met is number one.
MAX is a slick system. Glad their extension to Amtrak depot is now built since my '10 visit.

Portland is an excellent example of how a city of its size should have a public transit system it has. Even the airport connection is handy!
