Community Outreach & Events

LTD’s outreach and engagement activities and events are focused on a range of objectives from listening to our community’s needs to fostering appreciation for the value of transportation options. Here is a snapshot of community engagement last fiscal year:

  • 98 partnered community events

  • 10 community events where free bus passes were provided

LTD is honored to work with a range of community partners to have a positive impact on our community. These collaborations help members of our community stay safe during extreme weather events, ensure every K-12 student in Lane County has access to transportation, and more.

  • Free rides to Egan Warming Centers, summer cooling centers, and smoke respite shelters
  • Stuff the Bus Food Drive in partnership with FOOD for Lane County & USMC
  • Student Transit Passes in collaboration with Eugene 4J, Bethel, and Springfield School Districts, and Lane Education Service District

Mobility Solutions for a More Connected Community

How will the people of Lane County move in the next ten, twenty, or fifty years? LTD’s purpose is to connect our community, and continuing to serve that mission into the future requires engagement and collaboration with neighbors, advocates, and leaders.

We also must understand current needs as we imagine how an effective mobility system can contribute to a brighter future for all who call our region “home.” Today, forty-seven percent of households in Lane County are struggling financially.

Too many of our neighbors face barriers to affordable housing and well-paying jobs, or struggle to access the resources they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Mobility — how we connect to the places we need to be — can have a positive impact on increasing access and lifting up our entire community.

LTD is embarking on a long-range mobility planning process to establish a vision for a stronger, more connected community. Beginning in 2025, there will be opportunities for your voice to be part of that process. Learn more and watch for opportunities to engage in LTD Connect 2045.
