What will this project do?

Lane Transit District (LTD) completed the Eugene Station Modernization Project to improve accessibility, safety, and the overall customer experience at the District’s central transit hub. Located at 1080 Willamette Street, Eugene Station connects Downtown Eugene to LTD’s broader network of bus routes and serves as a key gateway to the community.

With a focus on inclusivity, safety, and long-term usability, the modernization ensures Eugene Station can continue to serve riders, employees, and visitors well into the future.
