<br /> October 15, 2018, Work Session – Item 2 <br /> <br />Community engagement has been scheduled at key points in the process which is expected to be completed with LTD board decision making in June, 2019. A graphic summarizing the overall Transit Tomorrow process is provided as an attachment. Community engagement first took place in the initial phase of the project to establish community priorities. Key questions being asked through Transit Tomorrow’s community engagement: <br />• How should we balance investment in high ridership and extensive coverage? <br />• How should we balance walking and waiting for transit? <br />• Does LTD’s network need small adjustments or a major overhaul? The community will next be engaged in reviewing the scenarios for transit improvement currently being developed. That review is scheduled to start in early 2019. Results of the community engagement to date, including results of the online survey, will be presented to the City Council. Enhancing public transportation in Eugene supports City plans and policies including Envision Eugene, the Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan and the City’s Climate Recovery Ordinance. Envision Eugene identifies frequent transit corridors that will have 15-minute service and support adjacent compact development. The Eugene 2035 TSP has a goal of tripling the percentage of trips made on foot, by bicycle and by transit by 2035. <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES Eugene 2035 Transportation System Plan Ordinance No. 20567: Climate Recovery <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS Not applicable. <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. <br />SUGGESTED MOTION None. <br />ATTACHMENTS A.
