Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan https://sos.oregon.gov/pages/meet-the-secretary.aspx has informed Lane Transit District (LTD) that a new mass transit district map has been adopted and will go into effect on July 1, 2022.
“By Oregon Law http://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors267.html , LTD’s district map is redrawn every ten years after the U.S. Census is completed to reflect the local changing demographics throughout LTD’s seven subdistricts,” said Mark Johnson, LTD’s Interim General Manager. “The State of Oregon approved some minor adjustments to the boundaries of six of LTD’s seven subdistricts due to population change.”
The Governor appoints a community volunteer from each LTD subdistrict to serve on the District’s Board of Directors. They represent the mass transit interests of their subdistrict in the agency’s governance. Members of the LTD Board of Directors serve no more than two consecutive four-year terms.

In March, the District asked the public to comment on the Secretary of State’s redistricting proposal. LTD’s Board of Directors approved the proposed changes in May.
