Language not a barrier for accessing LTD services
Lane Transit District actively works to remove language barriers for riders. Madeline Saldana, an LTD transportation and outreach marketing specialist, says as the Latinx community continues to grow in Lane County, LTD is focused on accessibility. With the click of a button, the entire LTD.org website can be translated into a variety of languages, and most of LTD’s printed materials, including its rider’s guide and information on its free transit pass programs, are available in Spanish. Those and similar efforts help riders like Bianca Hernandez and her grandmother, Araceli, feel comfortable and safe taking the bus everywhere.
