Lane Transit District will again provide shuttle service to the Oregon Country Fair (OCF) in Veneta on Friday, July 11, through Sunday, July 13. The Oregon Country Fair is subsidizing the cost of this bus service to encourage bus riding to the fair site. Fairgoers must have their Oregon Country Fair ticket or TicketsWest ticket confirmation letter in order to board the shuttle bus or enter OCF property.

TICKET INFORMATION - There will be no admission ticket sales at the fair site. Tickets are available at TicketsWest outlets, including most Safeway stores, online at www.ticketswest.com, or by calling 1-800-992-8499.

Valley River Center Shuttle Site – TicketsWest Ticket Sales will be located adjacent to the shuttle boarding area.

OCF Site – Will-call tickets will be available only at the fair site. Fairgoers must have their TicketsWest ticket confirmation letter.

Without an OCF ticket, the shuttle fare is $10 ($15 on Saturday) to ride to the fair site. No one will be allowed access to the fair site without a ticket or worker pass.

LTD SHUTTLE BUS SERVICE - Shuttles will run from two locations:

1. LTD Eugene Station, Bay I

2. Valley River Center (southwest parking lot)

Shuttle service will begin at 10 a.m. The last shuttle will leave the fair site at 7:30 p.m.

An OCF fair ticket also is a bus pass for the day. By showing the Oregon Country Fair ticket to the LTD bus operator, fairgoers may ride for free. Fairgoers should keep their ticket stub for the return trip after the fair (valid only on the same date as the fair ticket).

Please be advised that the Oregon Country Fair will not allow the following items on fair property, and bags will be checked before boarding LTD buses: drugs, alcohol, dogs (pets), video cameras, and glass containers.

BICYCLE Information - There will be no bicycles allowed on the shuttle bus bike racks going to the Oregon Country Fair site. Bicycle racks will be available only at the Valley River Center shuttle boarding site. Fairgoers may take Greenway Bike Bridge directly to the boarding site at Valley River Center. There is very limited bicycle parking at the LTD Eugene Station. Bicycles that are chained to benches, railings, and other structures will be removed.
