LTD Introduces Airport Connector
The Lane Transit District (LTD), Eugene, OR, recently introduced Airport Connector service to the Eugene Airport in partnership with the airport and Lane Community College.
LTD Board President Gary Wildish said, “A public transit connection to the airport has been a topic of discussion in our community for years. We are pleased to be partnering with the Eugene Airport and Lane Community College to fund this pilot project and we are excited to see how students, travelers and airport employees react to this service option.”
Regarding the importance of the new service, Andy Vobora, LTD director of customer services and planning, said, “On the first day, we were thrilled to hear of a businessman from a nearby community who plans to use the new connector service for a flight he takes each week.”
The one-year pilot project will operate free to passengers who pay the fare on the connecting bus.
In addition to providing service to nearly 1,500 people who work on the airport property, the connector will serve Lane Aviation Academy, a part of Lane Community College with 120 students training to become pilots and maintenance technicians.
