LTD – August is Free With Vaxpass!
EUGENE, Ore.—(July 12, 2021)-–In August, Lane Transit District (LTD) is offering the community a boost with the Vaxpass free bus pass for those who are vaccinated against COVID-19. Federal regulations require all passengers and members of the public to continue wearing a face mask over the nose and mouth when on LTD property and on its buses.
“LTD’s August Vaxpass is one way the District can thank community members who are vaccinated and encourages those who aren’t to consider getting vaccinated so Oregonians can continue to keep the spread of COVID-19 at a minimum,” said Aurora Jackson, LTD’s General Manager. “We want our passengers back on the bus and invite those who may not have been frequent bus passengers in the past to give LTD a try for shopping, visiting friends, or a relaxing night on the town.”
