EUGENE, Ore. —(Jan. 13, 2022)— Lane Transit District (LTD) is asking the public and its private partners for input on how the District can collaborate with them to determine how best to expand or modify the public transportation network and deliver new public transportation options and services to the region.

The information gathered will inform LTD’s Mobility Management Strategy (MMS) to provide public transportation to the community in the future.

Interested members of the public, including LTD’s private-sector partners, can learn more about the MMS process and sign up for project updates by visiting the LTD website. Community members can respond to a survey that will be posted on the project webpage later next month.

The purpose of the MMS is to:

Understand needs and gaps in transportation services
Determine the best role for LTD to play in supporting new transportation services and programs
Define a process for making decisions about LTD’s role in new transportation options
Identify a list of potential transportation projects to consider for implementation in the future

“The Mobility Management Strategy process gives interested community members the opportunity to express their ideas about what could be next for public transportation services in our communities,” said Andrew Martin, a development planner with the District. “LTD will seriously consider all community input as we manage our available resources to meet the public transportation needs of a changing community and region.”
