Everyone deserves a safe, reliable, and convenient way to get where they need or want to go. Connect 2045 is a community-driven plan to make it easier for people across Lane County to do this. This 20-year vision will guide investments in public transportation to improve access to jobs, schools, healthcare, shopping, and recreation.

What will this project do?

Connect 2045 – LTD’s long-range planning effort – will help us and our partners identify ways to make getting around more reliable, sustainable, and accessible for people throughout our region.

By building on community input and existing planning efforts, Connect 2045 will identify transportation needs and opportunities, strengthen connections between communities, and create a shared vision for the future of mobility in Lane County.

Community input is at the heart of Connect 2045 and will help guide decisions about public transportation services, routes, and where future investments are made.

LTD wants to hear from you: what’s working well, what needs to be improved to get people to essential destinations (e.g., work, school, grocery stores, healthcare, and community spaces), and what connections would make trips easier, faster, and more direct? Public involvement will include public events, community outreach meetings, and conversations with local organizations.
