Less than a mile east from where the PCT hits I-10 ( Verbenia Overpass),  
Highway 111 runs about 15 miles into Palm Springs.  I saw it from a  distance and 
there was lots of morning traffic.  To get to the Tramway, you  have to go 
about 4 miles up Chino Canyon, which turns off of 111.  I would  think a hitch 
up to the tram would not be too difficult.
 
Alternately, from the PCT, climb to the top of San Jacinto and take the  
trail back down to the top of the Tram.... great restaurant!  Take it down  and 
hitch into Palm Springs.... then back.
