City of Eugene Covid-19 survey

Posted on January 15, 2021 by Gary Haliski

The City of Eugene is conducting a survey regarding COVID-19 impacts in our community, and we would like to encourage anyone to take the COVID-19 Household Survey so we can better understand the impacts the pandemic has had and continues to have on the Eugene community. The survey is now open for anyone to respond through Engage Eugene, the City’s online engagement platform (registration required). The Spanish language version of the survey has been active since mid-December. Both the English and Spanish surveys will be open through January 31.  

Data from the survey will help inform City efforts to support recovery from the pandemic.  Additionally, the survey also serves as an outreach tool to promote recovery-related programs and resources that are available to the community through our organization and our partners. 

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. Information will remain confidential, and results from the survey will only be shared as a group (no individual’s answers will be made available). Once the data analysis is complete, we will be sharing the results.

The traffic signal at River Road and Green Lane will be turned on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, at about 9 am.

Setting up and tweaking the light could take anywhere from an hour to most of the day.  There will be flaggers at the intersection for traffic control.   Thank you for your patience.

LTD to reinstate fares Feb 1, add trips on Routes 51 & 52 Jan 24

Posted on January 11, 2021 by Gary Haliski

LTD To Reinstate Fare Collection on Feb. 1
January 6, 2021
Passengers boarding LTD buses will begin paying fares on all routes beginning Monday, Feb. 1, 2021, and will pay their fares using the TouchPass mobile phone app or TouchPass card, cash, or fare purchased through a ticket vending machine on the EmX platforms. Day Passes purchased through the ticket vending machine are accepted on all LTD buses and will be exchanged for a Day Pass by the operator.

“Passengers boarding LTD buses will notice three things on February 1,” said Aurora Jackson, LTD’s general manager. “Passengers will again enter the bus from its front door, they will pay their fares with cash or the TouchPass mobile app or card, and the bus operator will be sitting behind a plexiglass shield to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.” Passengers riding EmX will enter through the middle and rear doors.

To encourage contactless boarding, TouchPass users will have a special February Rewards Pass available on January 20. Riders using TouchPass can download this pass through the TouchPass mobile app, or by visiting TouchPass.com. New users can download the TouchPass app, or purchase a TouchPass card for $3 at the LTD Customer Service Center when it re-opens on January 11, 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. (waiting area will remain closed.) LTD’s customer service staff are available to provide assistance.

Passengers who had purchased a March 2020 monthly pass or three-month pass when LTD suspended fares in March of 2020, can contact the LTD Customer Service Center at 541-687-5555 (1-800-248-3861, 7-1-1 TTY) after February 20 to obtain a replacement pass (must have a receipt or a TouchPass card or account to verify and redeem by May 31, 2021).

Information about fares can be found at https://www.ltd.org/fare-pass-pricing/
