LTD Annual Route Review 2014
As part of its Annual Route Review, Lane Transit District (LTD) is proposing to increase some fares and increase some transit service.
LTD gathers input from employees, riders, and the general community in developing system improvements evaluated as part of the Annual Route Review process. The process takes place from October through May and includes multiple ways for customers and the general public to provide input and feedback. This year, LTD is happy to report that they are proposing the addition of bus service that improves the span and frequency of existing routes, new neighborhood service, and the addition of holiday service. These improvements will create the opportunity for riders to better connect to the important people and places in their lives.
