In previous years, the feedback has resulted in more frequent service, rural service additions, increased hours of <br />service, and a pilot Eugene Airport Connector service. <br /> <br />LTD staff will continue to collect and evaluate the information received through tabling events, onboard surveys, and an <br />electronic survey available on the LTD website through the end of February. It can also be found at <br />https://www.ltd.org/annual-route-review. A public hearing will be held on Mar. 16, in conjunction with a regularly <br />scheduled LTD Board meeting at 5:30 p.m., in the Bascom-Tykeson Room in the Eugene Public Library. A final <br />recommendation will be presented to the LTD Board of Directors for adoption on Apr. 20. <br /> <br />LTD’s Service Planning staff developed a proposal with consideration of the long-range vision, goals, and plans of LTD <br />and the community. LTD staff specifically designed this service package to improve service for their existing passengers <br />and to make service more attractive for potential users. The concepts will simplify service, create new connections, and <br />provide more travel options that will enhance the already high level of service that LTD delivers every day. Below is a <br />summary of concepts that are being proposed: <br /> <br /> <br />More Trips, More Often: LTD staff have several proposals that would improve frequency along key corridors in the <br /> <br />network and fill in service gaps of several urban routes. For example, most of River Road would have 15-minute <br />service to downtown via Routes 51 and 52 and Coburg Road would have 15-minute service via routes 66 and 67. <br /> <br />Sunday Service: LTD staff developed service proposals that would improve service on Sundays, which is currently <br /> <br />limited and varies drastically from Saturday and weekday service. <br /> <br />Improve Connectivity: LTD staff has proposed to restructure routes in a way that increases connectivity and <br /> <br />expands system coverage. <br /> <br />Each weekday, LTD boards nearly 40,000 passengers on its buses. <br /> <br />For more information, please contact City of Eugene Transportation Planning Manager Rob Inerfeld at 651-682-5343 or <br />rob.inerfeld@ci.eugene.or.us or LTD Service Planner Tim Simon at 541-682-6194 or Tim.Simon@ltd.org. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />February 25, 2016 <br />
