LTD Board Adopts Service Recommendations Based On Community Feedback
Lane Transit District’s (LTD) Board of Directors voted unanimously to adopt a range of service recommendations stemming from its System Review process during its October 16 meeting.
LTD’s year long System Review included a comprehensive survey that asked participants to prioritize service improvements, as well as workshops and presentations hosted by LTD and consultants from Nelson-Nygaard.
The overwhelming majority of the 3,000+ survey responses requested more frequency. Due to LTD’s successful recruitment of bus operators, the District increased service by 8% in September.
“We’ve already increased frequency on EmX from 15 to 10 minutes, and added trips on the majority of LTD’s neighborhood routes,” said Jeramy Card, LTD’s Business Intelligence Analyst. “The recommendations adopted by the Board on Wednesday night create a toolbox of changes LTD can implement when other factors fall into place, like hiring more bus operators or making capitol improvements.”
The short- and long-term service recommendations will increase frequency on nearly all metro and rural routes and will provide more consistent service on major roads. These changes mean LTD and its partners will continue to provide effective and efficient service within Lane County.
