South Lane Wheels to Dim Lights and Lend Support for Earth Hour
South Lane Wheels joins the growing list of supporting organizations that are committing to take a stand by turning the lights out on pollution and creating a cleaner, safer and more secure future.
Earth Hour 2010
March 25th, 2010
Cottage Grove, OR– South Lane Wheels announced today that they will turn off all non-essential lighting at their Birch Avenue office for Earth Hour, and encourage their members to do the same.
Earth Hour, which takes place Saturday, March 27th at 8:30 p.m. local time, is an event in which millions of Americans will turn out their lights for one hour in support of action on climate change and toward creating a cleaner, safer and more secure future. 2010 marks the third year of the event, which attracted more than 80 million participants in the U.S. last year, and nearly a billion people around the world, as lights dimmed on such global icons as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Sydney’s Opera House, the Great Pyramids of Gaza and New York’s Empire State Building.
Notable U.S. landmarks such as Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, St. Louis’ Gateway Arch, Sea World in Orlando, the strip in Las Vegas, New York’s Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Washington D.C.’s National Cathedral, California’s Santa Monica Pier and the Space Needle in Seattle are among the hundreds of sites that will turn off non-essential lighting for the hour, in what is expected to be the largest-ever call to action on climate change.
Route Bus Advertising
Route Bus Advertising
Think of it as a moving billboard, designed to spread word of your business as far as possible. Because that is, in effect, what an ad on one of our buses is.
As an advertiser on one of our buses, you will receive exposure throughout Cottage Grove, Creswell, Eugene and Springfield for an entire year, for as little as $10 per month.
For repeated exposure to pedestrians, drivers and local businesses, we have spots on the bus exteriors of up to 58″ x 26″. If you want to speak more to the passengers, or change your message up to once per month, the interior of the buses have space available in their advertising panels for your ad – full-color and laminated.
Call 541-942-0456 for current prices and available spaces.

South Lane Wheels is Turning 30!

February 3rd, 2010
This year, SLW will reach another major milestone: its 30th year of service to the people of Lane County.
We have come a long way in that time. Thirty years ago, when our first vehicle, the ‘Gray Ghost’, was purchased with a grant from the State Older Americans Act. Our fleet has since grown to include eight busses and two vans, with another one on the way.
During the ‘80s, South Lane Wheels’ single vehicle ran on a fixed schedule: Mondays to Lorane and Creswell, Tuesdays to Row River Road and Mosby Creek, Wednesdays to London, Thursdays within CG, and again on Fridays to Lorane. Now our busses cover these areas every weekday, as well as having a scheduled route within CG and operating a Metro service, which takes local residents to Eugene and Springfield throughout the week.
It has been wonderful to see our efforts toward growth rewarded, and we would like to invite you to be a part of our success.
Plans are being made now for an unforgettable 30th birthday bash for SLW. Stay tuned!
