Description
What does the plan do?
Lane Transit District’s Community Investment Plan (CIP) outlines the major capital projects needed over the next 10 years to keep our transit system safe, reliable, and ready for the future. The plan is updated each year with input from the community and adopted by the LTD Board of Directors.
The CIP helps LTD:
- Maintain buses, stations, and essential infrastructure
- Plan for future improvements in transit service and technology
- Prioritize investments that improve safety, accessibility, and rider experience
- Coordinate long-term transit needs with local and regional transportation plans
The 2026–2035 CIP includes approximately $234 million in planned projects, including both improvements and essential maintenance.
How projects are funded
LTD uses a mix of federal, state, and local funding to complete CIP projects. Most projects rely on grants, with LTD typically contributing a local match. The District aims to secure funding 12–18 months before construction begins and uses General Fund transfers for projects that cannot be grant-funded.
Why it matters
The CIP ensures LTD can:
- Keep the transit network in good working order
- Provide safe and accessible stations and stops
- Support cleaner, more reliable buses
- Modernize technology to improve customer experience
- Deliver long-term value to the community
By planning ahead and investing wisely, the CIP supports LTD’s mission to connect our community in a safe, reliable, and sustainable way
