The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority has invited the public to a series of community meetings in September and October for the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Project. Interested members of the public can learn about the project and provide input into the project’s current planning and its environmental study.
The $267-million project aims to build a high-quality Bus Rapid Transit line that will connect the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys. Metro is now evaluating potential BRT alignments and station locations through an Alternatives Analysis process and is collaborating with cities where the project may be located. BRT is a high-quality bus service that provides faster and more reliable, equitable and convenient service. Features might include fewer stops, frequent service, bus lanes, high quality stations, transit signal priority, all-door boarding, off-bus fare payment and more prominent branding.
Metro anticipates that the project may ultimately span 16 to 18 miles and will travel east-west between the North Hollywood Station and a location to be determined in Pasadena. The planning study will also identify potential opportunities to benefit communities through high quality urban design, green and sustainable infrastructure and transit-oriented communities. The project is scheduled to open between 2022 and 2024.
The project is funded by the Measure M sales tax measures approved by L.A. County voters in 2016, along with SB 1 gas tax and vehicle fees.
