How we got here

MovingAhead began in 2015 as a partnership between the City of Eugene, Lane Transit District (LTD), regional agencies, and the Eugene-Springfield community. The purpose of the project was to determine what transportation investments are needed on some of our most important streets.

MovingAhead is about more than just transit: it considers a range of options for getting us where we need to go, whether we ride the bus, bike, drive, use mobility devices, or walk.

Based on previous community feedback, the MovingAhead team focused on five key corridors and identified the costs and benefits of various transportation investments for each:

Highway 99

River Road

30th Avenue/LCC

Coburg Road

Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard

At the conclusion of the project, the Eugene City Council and LTD Board of Directors will select a package of transit, walking, and biking investments across these five corridors that can be funded and built over the next 10 years. This list of prioritized investments will become a powerful tool for implementing local and regional land use, transportation, and community plans.

Alternatives Analysis

The information in this open house describes the findings of the MovingAhead Alternatives Analysis (AA) Report. An Alternatives Analysis is a part of established transportation planning practice that uses in-depth analyses to understand the trade-offs between different options and how they compare on a variety of criteria. It is also an important first step in securing federal funding for local projects.

MovingAhead Goals and Objectives

Improve transit travel time and reliability, minimize transfers, increase ridership, and improve access and safety for people walking, bicycling, and using mobility devices.

Control costs while increasing transit capacity to meet demand. Leverage funding opportunities that provide a maximum return on investment. Minimize impacts to the environment.
