The Strategic Planning Committee is composed of a core group of representatives from the LTD Board of Directors, and key LTD partners, including the Eugene City Council, Springfield City Council, Lane County Board of Commissioners, and Oregon Department of Transportation. The Committee also includes a diverse set of representatives from within the community.

The Strategic Planning Committee provides the LTD Board of Directors with independent advice on strategic planning issues related to advancing the goals of the Long-Range Transit Plan, including but not limited to developing the Frequent Transit Network, making better connections, reducing trip and waiting times, bridging the first and last mile, creating safer ways to access service, and optimizing solutions for urban and rural areas. In December 2022, via LTD Resolution number 2022-12-14-073, the SPC's purpose was expanded to encompass the work of the former LTD community advisory committee referred to as the "Comprehensive and Accessible Transportation Committee." As such, the SPC's purpose further includes the deliberate consideration, when making decisions for advice or recommendations to the LTD Board of Directors, of the impacts of potential, proposed, or actual service changes on individuals who are transit dependent, especially those who are older adults or people with disabilities.
