EUGENE, Ore. —(Sept. 27, 2022)— Any passenger, system-wide, who boards an LTD bus and tells the bus operator that they are attending the Lane County Stand Down at the Lane County Fairgrounds will be eligible to ride for free on Friday, Sept. 30, 2022, from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Lane County Stand Down is an annual event for veterans and their families that connects them to organizations that set up temporary shop at the fairgrounds for the day that can provide medical services, personal care services and items, meals and food, veteran’s benefits, clothes, housing information, and other services.
