LTD’s district includes Eugene and Springfield, as well as Veneta, <br />Junction City, Coburg, Lowell, Creswell, Cottage Grove, and the <br />McKenzie River Highway corridor. LTD’s transportation services include: <br />• Fixed-route transit. This includes all LTD bus routes, such as EmX, <br />other metro area routes, and commuter routes to small towns and <br />rural communities. These services are open to the general public. <br />Anyone can ride. <br />• Demand-response (RideSource). This includes paratransit for <br />persons with disabilities, non-emergency medical trips, and trans- <br />portation for human services agencies. Only passengers meeting <br />eligibility requirements (e.g. disability, Medicaid etc.) may ride. <br />• Vanpools. This is a specialized program for interested groups of <br />commuters who work relatively far from home, near each other, and <br />on similar schedules. LTD helps pay for a share of the rental and fuel <br />costs of a shared van. Members of the group use the van to get to <br />and from work. <br />LTD also serves as a source of public information on transportation <br />through the Point2point regional travel options program. Point2point <br />helps individuals and business understand the alternatives to driving <br />alone. This includes transit, but also walking, cycling, and vehicle sharing. <br />Fixed-route buses are the largest component of LTD’s service; they <br />account almost 95% of LTD ridership. <br />Transit Tomorrow is a review of LTD’s services, their performance, and the values they reflect. <br />Junction <br />City <br />Coburg <br />Veneta Eugene <br />Springfield <br />Lowell <br />Creswell <br />Cottage <br />Grove <br />McKenzie <br />Bridge <br />0 5 10 mi <br />2018/05/15JARRETT WALKER + ASSOCIATES <br />LTD SERVICE AREA <br />LTD District area <br />N <br />Figure 1: LTD district boundaries.
