LTD Completes Redistricting Process

Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan has informed Lane Transit District (LTD) that a new mass transit district map has been adopted and will go into effect on July 1, 2022.

“By Oregon Law, LTD’s district map is redrawn every ten years after the U.S. Census is completed to reflect the local changing demographics throughout LTD’s seven subdistricts,” said Mark Johnson, LTD’s Interim General Manager. “The State of Oregon approved some minor adjustments to the boundaries of six of LTD’s seven subdistricts due to population change.”

The Governor appoints a community volunteer from each LTD subdistrict to serve on the District’s Board of Directors. They represent the mass transit interests of their subdistrict in the agency’s governance. Members of the LTD Board of Directors serve no more than two consecutive four-year terms.
