ISSUE LTD is evaluating the transit network in the Springfield-Eugene area and will make STATEMENT: decisions on how to reconfigure the network and allocate additional transit funding. ATTACHMENTS: ATT1: Transit Tomorrow Scenario Report Introduction & Summary ATT2: Transit Tomorrow FAQ Sheet ATT3: Transit Scenarios (Existing Network, Ridership, and Coverage) DISCUSSION/ LTD is doing a comprehensive operations analysis, called Transit Tomorrow, FINANCIAL which is looking at the entire public transit network in Springfield and Eugene. In IMPACT: addition, the recent transportation bill (HB2017) established the Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund (STIF) by establishing an employee payroll tax. LTD expects an increase of 10-15% in operating revenue from the STIF, and will soon decide how to use those funds. Transit Tomorrow conducted a first round of outreach and heard from the community that people most want more evening and weekend bus service. People also expressed a desire for more frequent daytime service. The second round of outreach started with an online survey (LTD.org/Transit-Tomorrow) that will be open through the end of February to seek input from community members on tradeoffs presented in the Scenarios Report (ATT1). Transit Tomorrow will result in changes to LTD’s service that would go into effect between 2020 and 2023. In making this decision the LTD Board will determine the tradeoffs among various approaches to providing transit service. The first tradeoff will focus on whether the transit network should be designed in a way that places a higher value on ridership, or on system coverage. Do people have to walk further to the bus, but buses come more frequently? Or, do people have bus service close to them, but the bus does not come as often? ATT1 and ATT3 provide more information on the Ridership Scenario and Coverage Scenario that lay out a potential transit network based on each of the two values. The existing LTD network map has also been included in ATT3 for reference. The second tradeoff focuses on how to allocate the additional STIF funding LTD expects to receive. Should additional resources go towards increased service (i.e. evening, weekend, more frequent buses) or reduced fares (i.e. youth pass, low income fare, senior passes, etc.)? Transit Tomorrow planning will inform key transit network and funding allocation decisions that impact our community. LTD will likely start implementing at least some of the changes that come out of this process by fall 2020. Please note: this is the introduction section from the Transit Tomorrow Scenarios Report.
