Last summer many of you participated in Lane Transit District’s outreach for the project — Transit Tomorrow: a comprehensive look at LTD’s service and operations. LTD was seeking input on what types of public transit service the community valued and where LTD should prioritize resources to provide service.
The LTD team reached out to riders, residents, business owners, non-profit organizations, city leaders and others through tabling events, forums, listening sessions and an online open house (a survey).
LTD used what was heard from the public last summer to create four distinct transit system alternatives that asked the following questions:
should LTD provide more frequent public transit along major corridors or should LTD provide service to a broader area of the community?
should LTD lower fares for everyone or provide more service on weekends and in the evenings?
The public’s answers to these two questions helped create four possible scenarios that demonstrate how transit service could change in the near future. Currently LTD is seeking a second round of input. This is your opportunity to help LTD further define what transit service should look like in the community. To provide feedback you can participate in an online open house attend one of multiple tabling events at either the Springfield station or the Eugene station, or attend a public presentation about the Scenarios Report held at the University of Oregon. For detailed information on dates and times, or to participate in the online open house visit or online survey visit:
