Description
Lane Transit District is developing Connect 2045, a long-range mobility plan that will shape how people move around Lane County for the next twenty years. The plan will set a bold vision for sustainable, equitable, and accessible public transportation and lay out the policies and investments needed to get there.
Community input is at the heart of Connect 2045. Guided by LTD’s Community Engagement Framework, the planning process will include workshops, surveys, and stakeholder meetings to ensure the plan reflects the full range of needs and aspirations across our region. Opportunities to participate will be advertised widely as they become available.
LTD Connect 2045 Community Advisory Committee
Apply to Serve as a Community Advisory Committee Member for Lane Transit District
Lane Transit District (LTD) is developing a Long Range Mobility Plan, called Connect 2045, to guide the agency for the next 20 years. LTD is forming a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to provide input and review plan materials throughout the planning process. Stipends will be provided to CAC participants.
Membership
The CAC will be comprised of approximately 16 community members — some who regularly ride the bus, and others who may not, but are impacted by LTD policies and decisions. LTD encourages business and nonprofit leaders, students, youth, those experiencing disabilities, older adults, and especially those who have not historically been involved in the District’s outreach and engagement efforts, including the unhoused, lower-income individuals, and minority individuals, to apply.
Eligibility
Any member of the public aged 16 or older in the Eugene-Springfield and surrounding rural areas can apply to serve on the CAC. This includes residents, employers, employees, and/or students of Lane County. Elected or appointed officials are not eligible to serve on the CAC.
Responsibilities
The CAC will have a substantial role in the development of the Long-Range Mobility Plan and will be responsible for working collaboratively toward achieving consensus around the Plan. The CAC will meet in-person four times, between May 2026 and December 2027. Meetings will be no more than two hours long. The CAC will meet at LTD’s Glenwood Administrative Office at 3500 E. 17th Ave.
Compensation
In exchange for their time and effort, and to decrease barriers to community participation, CAC members will receive a stipend of $50 per meeting attended, up to $200. Additionally, free transit passes during time served on the committee will be provided.
Accommodations
LTD is prepared to provide access to necessary resources, such as a computer, internet, and/or language translation, in order for individuals to participate in the CAC.
