Doing Business with LTD
Lane Transit District’s (“LTD” or “District”) Procurement Department is responsible for the centralized procurement of all goods, services, real property, and construction required by LTD in accordance with sound public contracting policies and procedures. The information presented on this page is intended to help vendors, contractors, and consultants take advantage of business opportunities available with LTD.
LTD’s Community Investment Plan (CIP) may provide additional helpful procurement reference. This resource is updated annually as part of LTD’s budgeting process, and it provides an overview of projects and purchases planned for the next eight years.
Many of LTD’s procurements are funded by federal grants and must therefore adhere to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Third Party Contracting Guidelines. FTA Circular 4220.1F, as amended, is available for reference from the FTA.
LTD values, encourages, and supports diversity in its workforce and in the workforce of those who contract with LTD. Contractors and/or Subcontractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of LTD contracts. Contractors shall be required to carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts.

Payroll & Self-Employment Tax
