Transportation

LCOG provides a wide range of services to assist local, state, and federal governments as well as non-profit organizations in transportation planning services. The following program areas are current transportation projects:

Link Lane - Link Lane provides bus routes that connect communities within and beyond Lane County. The service is provided by Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and is funded by Oregon’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund.

Safe Lane Coalition- The coalition is a collaborative group of individuals, organizations, and governmental agencies that are working to reduce fatallities and severe injuries from crashes in Lane County.

Lane County Safe Routes to School -Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs aim to create safe, healthy, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to use active transportation for the school commute. These initiatives promote livable, vibrant communities, increase physical activity, and improve unsafe walking, biking, and skating conditions throughout the community. This includes a commitment to providing safe bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and reducing crash rates in all communities, including those with low-income families and non-English speakers. Lane County Safe Routes to School is a collaboration between Lane Council of Governments; Lane County; Lane Education Service District; and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Regional Transportation Options - LCOG works with partner agencies to implement  programs that influence travel behavior for the purpose of reducing or redistributing the demand on roads. The TO program implements strategies that improve the efficiency of the existing transportation system and works to provide a wide variety of mobility options including biking walking, scooting, taking transit, and telecommuting.
