Thank you for that reminder. However, our region’s use of transit in terms of productivity <br />rivals that of large communities. LTD’s high productivity exceeds that of many large <br />communities. Based on 2009 National Transit Database figures, our productivity and ridership <br />exceed regions with 3-5 times our population. At these levels of productivity and ridership, <br />larger buses are warranted (See Tables 1-4 below). <br /> <br /> <br />Table 1.

This represents a higher productivity than larger districts such <br />as: <br />Table 2.
