Lane County’s Transportation Advisory Committee has two open seats for representatives from District 1 (West Lane) and District 4 (North Eugene), with applications due by June 30. Interested residents must live within one of the two districts, and applications can be submitted online. Applicants are encouraged to verify their district by entering their address on the county website.
The Transportation Advisory Committee serves as a forum for public input on Lane County’s transportation system and acts as a liaison group representing community transportation concerns to the Board of County Commissioners. The committee is composed of seven members—one from each commissioner’s district and two at-large members—and meets every fourth Wednesday evening every other month, either online or in person.
“Safety on our roads is top of mind for many people in our community whether they drive, bike or walk,” said Senior Engineering Associate Taylor Carsley. “Joining the Transportation Advisory Committee is an opportunity to get involved and help us improve our transportation system for us all.”
More information about the committee, including application forms, can be found at www.LaneCountyOR.gov/TrAC.
Lane County promotes community well-being through health programs, youth initiatives, public safety services, elections management, and facility maintenance across its more than 4,600 square miles of urban, suburban, rural, and coastal landscapes in western Oregon, according to the official website.
