Purpose of this Meeting
Introduce project
Describe study process
Present initial transit concepts for Valley‐Westside
Gather feedback on project purpose, transit
concepts, and issues of community concern

Corridor History
2008: Measure R provides $1 billion for transit corridor (2039 opening year)
2014: I‐405 Sepulveda Pass Widening Project opened to traffic
2016: Measure M provides over $9 billion for transit improvements
• $260 million for ExpressLanes on I‐405 (opening year 2026)
• $5.7 billion for Valley‐Westside transit (opening year 2033)
• $3.8 billion for Westside‐LAX transit (opening year 2057)
2018: Metro’s 28 by 2028 initiative identifies the Valley‐Westside section of the project
as a candidate for accelerated completion by the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Ongoing: project being evaluated for a public‐private partnership

What We’re Studying
Rail transit concepts between the San
Fernando Valley and LAX
Connections to existing/planned transit
corridors
Alignments and station locations, including
Park & Ride
Valley ‐ Westside
Maintenance facility requirements
Study Area divided into two sections:
• Valley‐Westside
• Westside‐LAX
Westside ‐
LAX
5
Project Study Area
Approximately 22 miles long
Generally follows Interstate 405
Primarily within the City of Los Angeles,
but also portions of:
• City of Santa Monica
• Culver City
• City of Inglewood
• Unincorporated Los Angeles County
6
Projects in Planning or Construction

Study Area Travel Characteristics
2.26 million trips produced daily, 47% leave
study area
3.04 million trips attracted daily, 61% from
outside study area
Severe traffic congestion on I‐405 during peak
periods
Travel times are highly variable
Limited options for Valley‐Westside travel
Over 400,000 trips through Sepulveda Pass each
weekday
Less than 2 percent of trips in Sepulveda Pass
are made by transit

Valley‐Westside Travel Patterns
In the Valley
• Origins and destinations are widely distributed
• Slight concentration between I‐405 and Van Nuys
Van Nuys

UCLA/
• Origins and destinations concentrated from Westwood

Westside‐LAX Section Travel Patterns
Origins and destinations are concentrated between
Sunset Boulevard and Interstate 105
Fewer origins and destinations in the San Fernando
Valley

Project Purpose and Need
Provide a high‐quality transit service that effectively
serves a large and growing travel market between the
San Fernando Valley and the Westside, including the
LAX area. For transit to be a competitive travel option
that attracts new riders, there is a need to increase
the speed, frequency, capacity and reliability of
transit service and provide convenient connections to
existing and planned transit corridors.

Study Process
12
Components of a Transit Concept
Type of transit vehicle (e.g.,
light rail or monorail)
Alignment—the route the
transit service follows
Terminus station locations—
endpoint or final station for
the transit alignment
Intermediate station
locations—stations along the
alignment and between the
endpoints
Vertical configuration (e.g., at
grade, underground, aerial)
Aerial light rail station Underground heavy rail station
13
Transit Modes Under Consideration
Fully grade separated Typically on aerial beam
Up to 70 mph Up to 50 mph
6 to 8 cars per train Up to 8 cars per train
810 to 1,080 passengers Up to 480 passengers per
per train train
Examples: Metro Red and Can sustain operations on
Purple Lines steep grades
Heavy Rail Transit (HRT) Monorail
Examples: Las Vegas Monorail
At grade, underground, or aerial
At grade, underground, or
Up to 50 mph
aerial
Up to 9 cars per train
Up to 65 mph
Up to 1,440 passengers per train
3 to 4 cars per train
Can sustain operations on steep
405 to 540 passengers per
grades
train
Relatively high energy
Examples: Metro Blue,
Light Rail Transit (LRT) consumption
Green, Gold, and Expo Lines Rubber Tire Transit
Examples: Mexico City Metro 14
