Abstract
The Transportation Policy class worked with Lane Transit District (LTD) to develop a series of policy proposals developed over a 10-week term intended to provide the basis for developing LTD’s Long-Range Mobility Plan (LTD Connect 2045). The students’ policy proposals provide a vision for the future of an equitable, sustainable, and transformative transportation system in Eugene-Springfield and the broader Lane County area. Students worked in groups to research transportation policy through the lens’ of education, social capital, economics, housing, and health. Students imagined policy solutions outside of the Overton window of the next long-range mobility plan and finalized their perspective in a series of policy proposals. Students furthered LTD’s goals of sourcing imaginative solutions to issues of connectivity and accessibility. The LTD policies that students recommended work to improve mobility, opportunity, built environment, inclusion and accessibility, land use & housing, and evaluation. By impacting the physical, cultural and systemic environments, students believe LTD could further connect and improve their service. The most feasible, impactful, and creative policies are highlighted in this final policy report document.
