The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is hosting a series of community meetings, both in-person and virtual, for the Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project, I-405 Sepulveda Pass ExpressLanes Project and the Traffic Reduction Study. These meetings aim to gather public input, offer project updates and engage with the community. The sessions are scheduled for Oct. 24, 28, and 30, as well as Nov. 1, 6, 7 and 8.
Metro is pursuing three separate projects designed to overcome the natural barrier posed by the Santa Monica Mountains, each of which would independently enhance transportation options between the San Fernando Valley and the Westside.
The Sepulveda Transit Corridor Project, currently in the environmental review phase, is considering six rail alternatives that would benefit communities by providing a fast, reliable alternative to driving and improving access to key destinations and employment centers in the San Fernando Valley and the Westside of Los Angeles. It would connect to the future East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Line, G Line (Orange), D Line (Purple) and E Line (Expo), as well as Metrolink’s Ventura County Line.
Also in the environmental phase is the I-405 Sepulveda Pass ExpressLanes Project. Metro is working in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to evaluate alternatives to convert the existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes or carpool lanes into dynamically priced, high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, also called ExpressLanes. The ExpressLanes would serve both directions of I-405 between I-10 and US-101 and are intended to provide additional mobility options and improve traffic flows, travel times and trip reliability.
The third project, Metro’s innovative Traffic Reduction Study, aims to tackle congestion in high-traffic areas of Los Angeles by exploring congestion pricing strategies. Revenues generated from tolls will be reinvested to broaden transportation choices and establish discount programs for low-income residents.
The meetings will be held on the following dates and times:
