BEST’s recommendations
After carefully reviewing Lane Transit District’s 2021–2030 Community Investment Plan (CIP), BEST submitted testimony at the LTD Board of Directors meeting on Oct. 21, 2020:
- BEST has no objections to the CIP as presented.
- Future CIPs should be more helpfully organized.
- Projects may advance goals—but that is not clear from the CIP.
- Develop a 10-year strategic business plan before the next 10-year CIP.
Public comment opportunity
Lane Transit District’s 2021–2030 Community Investment Plan (CIP) Draft is now available for public comment.
The CIP is a 10-year framework document that provides direction on LTD community investments. The plan helps facilitate the efficient use of LTD’s financial resources and implement regional priorities that anticipate the need for public transportation in the future.
Annual revisions of the CIP consider new and existing projects and reflect changes in strategic and operational priorities. The plan includes projects where funding has already been identified as well as desired projects where funding may not yet to be defined. The CIP supports short-term issues as well as long-term transportation and livability goals.
Members of the public can provide comments on the document:
- at the Budget Committee meeting on October 7,
- at the Board of Directors meeting on October 21, and
- by emailing clerk@ltd.org.
The Board of Directors will be asked to adopt the plan at their meeting on November 18, 2020.
Summary of CIP
There are two types of projects in the CIP:
- Improvement projects, totaling $29,464,016, increase the investments in the community adding additional service and/or user benefits. These can include frequent transit network projects, fare management, and large technology and facility upgrades that increase benefits to the community.
- State of Good Repair projects, totaling $130,427,572, keep the District’s assets in good working order to continue providing high-quality service to the community. These include vehicle replacement, maintenance and upgrades to technology and facilities, and other projects intended to maintain high service quality.
Both type of projects are divided into the following major categories:
- Frequent Transit Network (FTN): These projects encompass the planning, design, and construction of service that increases capacity along major transportation corridors. The FTN strengthens regional connectivity by tying service and investment decisions to the level of development along corridors.
- Fleet: These are projects related to the addition, replacement, and overhaul of service and support vehicles and equipment.
- Facilities: These are projects that fund the design, purchase, installation, construction, or improvement/rehabilitation of service, maintenance, and administrative facilities.
- Technology Infrastructure and Support Systems: These projects include the acquisition, implementation, and enhancement of technology infrastructure, communications/network equipment, hardware and software.
- Safety and Security: These projects include the acquisition, implementation, and enhancement of security and safety programs that support the delivery of transportation services.
