In The Beginning....

Transit services began fare-free services for citizens and visitors of Logan on April 27, 1992. Services are funded by a local sales tax and through Federal Transit Administration Urbanized Area Formula Program grants.

The Logan Transit District started out with seven 26 foot buses and 6 routes. Service was provided 6:15 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. Monday through Friday, and limited services on Saturday. The 20,000 students, staff and faculty at Utah State University generated strong ridership support, as did a high number of school-age children. The strong demand for service, which neared a million passengers in 1996, called for an increase in service.

In July of 1996 weekday bus service was extended until 9:45 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday service was provided every 30 minutes from 9:15 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. Two more routes were also added including a "tripper" route for the high school and middle school during peak times.

LTD was proud to announce in June of 1997 that it surpassed one million passenger trips in a single year. A celebration was held and the one millionth rider was awarded prizes. In the years of 1996-1997 eleven new 32-foot ElDorado Transmark buses were purchased.

On April 19,1998 the bus garage facility opened its doors. It houses the Administration, Operations and the Maintenance functions all under one roof. It also provides storage of transit vehicles in a fenced and secured site.

On November 7, 2000 Cache Valley voters elected to establish the Cache Valley Transit District (CVTD). As part of this public referendum, voters ratified a special services district that includes the cities of Richmond, Smithfield, Hyde Park, North Logan, River Heights, Providence, Millville, Nibley, and Hyrum. In addition, sales tax was established to fund the CVTD. This district provides transportation to the citizens of Cache Valley.

A groundbreaking ceremony for the new Transit Center took place at the selected site 150 East 500 North in Logan on Wednesday, March 14, 2001. On August 24, 2001 the community celebrated the Grand Opening of the new Transit Center. On this same day the first CVTD buses were boarded and began service.

On February 23, 2007 LTD was annexed into the Cache Valley Transit District. The CVTD is governed by an 18 person board.
