LAX Runway North trench LAX Runway Tunnel At its northern terminus, Metro LAX Runway South trench has decided not to directly 111 th Street connect the Crenshaw Line track Imperial Highway to the at-grade Metro Expo Line V 1-105 (Century Freeway) track. Such a connection would Green Line have allowed the Crenshaw Line Ii all stations accessible to interline with the Expo Line and terminate in Downtown Los Angeles. However, Metro argues that this is not operationally feasible (three lines would share tracks on Flower Street leading into Downto"TI, putting the tracks above their maximum capacity, leading to delays), and is therefore not worth the cost. Instead, its northern terminus will be an underground subway station at Expo/Crenshaw, built to enable a planned northern extension to the :P:t:IIJ?J~ ~!11~ and the !:!<.:>H.Y':Y99c1l!i!glil<l:nc1 ~t<l:P<?!? on the R:~c1w~tn~ in Hollywood.

Early proposals had suggested that a new line would operate between J!:.X:P9/G~~I1Sll£l:'Y ~t(l,ti911 in the north and j\yiati911/C:~11tt1ry St(l,ti911 in the south or possibly extend to R:~ci()11g9 J3~ac;li st£1:ti911 once the stations west of j\yia,tig11/~M E)tati()I1 could accommodate 3-car trains, with the stretch southwest of the vvye continuing to be served by the Metro Green Line as weU.[13] An additional service would have connected l'J'9~'Y£l:ll< ~t(l,tigl) to the new j\yi(l,tig11/C:~11tl1~Y st£1:tig11 and planned 9t)tli ~tr~~t 'J'r<l:11~it st£1:tig11, as well as the Aimort Metro Connector.E14J 3of12 8/13/2019, 10:39 AM Crenshaw/LAX Line - Wikipedia https ://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Crenshaw/LAX_ Line But this service plan would have required trains passing all three directions {!<l>W\M;W· through the ~vy~ connecting the new and existing infrastructure, which hf@ Metro staff felt would unduly wear down the p()if1tE). Instead, in 2018 Metro proposed a service plan that would see the newly opened segment connected to the bulk of the current Green Line; the southwest segment of the Green Line in the §()l1tli J3C1Y would operate as a separate shuttle between IZ~cl()I1cl:9 ]3~acli and the new A'i<lti()I1/G~11tt1ry E)t(lti()l1· The (ii<o#:ii<&f/ arrangement was meant to provide a seamless rail option for the many AUW):)#'~' passengers who currently transfer between the Green Line and north to south bus lines in the area, as well as operationally combine the Norwalk­ LAX and Crenshaw/Expo-LAX legs, which have matching capacity needs, rather than combining either vvith the more sparsely used Redondo Beach W&k%4* leg.[1sJ fuc<,M:h Operating plan approved for the However, the plan was met \vith resistance from some board members, Crenshaw/LAX Line particularly §l1p~ryis()r .JC111i('.e )-:Ia]Jp, because it would require South Bay passengers to make multiple transfers to complete trips currently possible with only one transfer.[16] A faction of the Metro board led by Hahn proposed a one-year pilot of an alternative routing scheme under which one line would travel from r-J()r\valk stati9n to J<:xpo/C:rensha\v stati()l1 and another from Rec1onc1o J3~a('.]J, St(l1:i()l1 to :vyill()'\l~r()()Iz/R()S(l J><lr1zE> St(lti()l1· The proposal, dubbed C-3, was approved by the Metro board on December 6, 2018.[17] This option will entail an additional $10 million annual operating cost over Metro's initial proposal, in large part because a substantial segment of the current Green Line between Willowbrook and Aviation/LAX will see three-minute headways at peak hours. The adopted proposal will also limit the potential length of trains on the new segment to two cars due to power constraints; it will preclude a one-seat ride from the South Bay to LAX[ is] but vl'i1l maintain the ability of South Bay passengers to transfer directly to the Silver Line and Blue Line. History The line was planned follovving the Los Aflgeles riots 0(1992 as a way to better serve transit-dependent residents in the corridor while at the same time providing stimulus for positive economic grov.th in the ~()l1th l,()E; A11g~l~s region.

Perez 2019 i SIGNATURE PAGE PROJECT: TORRANCE BUS SERVICE RELIABILITY AND IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES AUTHOR: Jose M. Perez DATE SUBMITTED: Spring 2019 Department of Urban and Regional Planning Dr. Alvaro M. Huerta Project Committee Chair Professor of Urban Planning Richard Zimmer Committee Member Lecturer of Urban Planning David Mach Senior Transportation Planner Torrance Transit i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author thanks the Torrance Transit Employees for the data they furnished and their participation in the client project, especially Senior Transportation Planner David Mach. The author would also like to thank the City of Torrance for providing information on future development and specific goals of their circulation plan. Special thanks to Dr. Alvaro M. Huerta and Professor Richard Zimmer for their help and guidance in completing the client project. i ABSTRACT A city’s transportation infrastructure directly affects the mobility of the people, goods, and services, of all who live within its’ limits. Bus transit lines are a key element of a balanced transportation system that can improve or detract from the quality of life of its’ populous. Transit networks that are poorly implemented eventually become impractical and difficult to maintain; and thus, a burden upon the city it’s meant to help. In addition the service reliability of a transit line is critical to both the transit agency and its users in order to maintain a healthy transportation system.
