Mobility Management Strategy

Project Overview & Purpose

LTD is developing a Mobility Management Strategy to learn how to best collaborate with local partners to provide a strong transportation network. The Mobility Management Strategy will help LTD understand how to best serve the community with new transportation options and services.

The purpose of this project is to:

• Survey transportation needs and gaps in existing transportation services.
• Understand the best role for LTD to play in supporting new transportation services and programs.
• Define a process for making decisions about LTD’s role in new (non-fixed route) transportation options.
• Identify a list of potential transportation projects to implement in the short term.

Transportation options refer to different travel modes, such as buses, shuttles, walking, bicycles, or e-scooters.

Transportation programs refer to the variety of programs used to support travel by specific modes, including discounted transit passes, emergency ride home, and employee transportation programs.

Transportation services refer to LTD’s fixed route or demand responsive services (e.g., EmX or the Cottage Grove Connector) bikeshare (e.g., PeaceHealth Rides), rideshare (e.g., Uber or Lyft), or carpool programs.  

What’s included in this project?

This project will explore what is possible for a variety of transportation options and services. It will not assess possible route or frequency changes to fixed route services, nor will it identify locations for pilot projects.
