The Diamond
Express operates transportation service between Oakridge
and the Eugene/Springfield area.
The service provides
three daily trips from Oakridge to downtown Eugene, and three
daily
trips from Eugene to Oakridge. The service, open to anyone, costs
$2.50 one-way. Or, for $5.00, guests receive a round-trip on
the
Diamond Express, plus a Day Pass good on all Lane Transit
District routes on the date purchased.
The Diamond
Express was designed with the help of Oakridge and Westfir residents
to include these features:
- Inter-City connectivity
for rural communities
- Mid-day curb-to-curb
service for seniors and people with disabilities
- Flexible scheduling
and routing
The service
is managed by Lane Transit District, through a contract with Special
Mobility Services. The program is funded through the State's Special
Transportation Fund for the Elderly and Disabled, and a federal
Small City and Rural Assistance Program grant.
