TransitCenter / 91 Frwy. Prepared by MTA Scheduling and Operations Planning Staff August 1993 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1987, after nearly a decade of intense review, CALTRANS announced that the Harbor -110- Freeway had been selected for the construction of a transitway that will ultimately link San Pedro with Downtown Los Angeles. Construction began soon after, concurrent with the building of the Glen Anderson -105- Freeway and Metro Green Line. In 1995, the centerpiece of the Harbor Transitway, the 10.3 mile section stretching between the Artesia -91- Freeway and Downtown Los Angeles, will open for use. Many area residents and visitors have had an opportunity to witness the construction of the Harbor Transi tway. Probably the most visually striking and exciting features are the elevated structures nearly three miles in length. Upon completion, the Harbor Transitway will undoubtedly rank as one of the premier dedicated transit facilities in the country. The Transitway is far more than merely an interesting example of guideway architecture. As documented in the attached report, it brings with it an opportunity to establish another world-class transi t system in Los Angeles. Just as important, through an innovative routing and service concept, this system can be implemented at no additional cost to the region. SERVICE CONCEPTS The opportunity provided by this new facility is coupled with the challenge that no operating funds were identified to provide the expanded transit service that this corridor warrants. The MTA, spearheaded by the Scheduling and Operations Planning Department, began an exhaustive alternatives analysis for the Transitway with the following guidelines in mind. • Service design to take full advantage of the Transi tway features; • Service design to provide for anticipated growth in demand; and • Service design to be as nearly cost neutral as possible since additional monies have not been earmarked for operation. Several operating scenarios were developed, and after careful review, three concepts emerged for further study. They are: • Concept A: Simply operate existing Harbor Freeway express routes along the Transitway, and modify local surface street routes to connect at stations. Map A illustrates the existing Harbor Freeway service operation which would basically be transposed to the Transitway; i HE 3·36 ." -- 3 0 4 8 5 .B8 D93 FEB 1 3 200~ MapA Existing Harbor Freeway Bus Service to !ACBO + Manchester Av. 442 EI Blvd. 12 Roseaans Av.

A high capacity, high speed HOV facility similar in concept to the EI Monte Busway, the Transitway will begin in San Pedro and end at 37th Street near Downtown Los Angeles. The facility is 19.6 miles in length, and will have nine stations. While this is a new transit installation, additional operating funds needed to take advantage of its capabilities have not been identified. The purpose of this study is to plan for new and modified express services, as well as route adjustments for local surface street lines to serve the Transitway. A companion goal is to develop and evaluate innovative ways to expand transit service while either maintaining or even reducing operating costs. Staff has developed three concepts that could be implemented when the Transitway begins operations, which are further detailed in this report. 1.1 Existing Transit Service on the Barbor -110- Freeway Following is a list of existing providers of service on the Harbor -110- Freeway by carrier, including the MTA and municipal operators. Harbor-ll0-Freeway Transit Services Line No. Name Service Type 442 Hawthorne-Union station M-F Peak Hours/Direction Express only 443 Torrance-Redondo Beach-Palos M-F Peak Hours only/Both Verdes Express Directions 444 L.A.-West Torrance Rolling S-S both directions, 5 a.m. Hills Express to 8 p.m. 445 San Pedro Park-Ride Express M-F Peak Hours/Direction only 446/ L.A.-Carson-Wilmington- S-S 24 Hour Service 447 San Pedro Express Torrance Torrance-Los Angeles S-S 5: 00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. T1 via Gardena Torrance Torrance-Los Angeles S-S 5:30 a.m. to 8: 00 p.m. T2 via South Bay Galleria Gardena Gardena to Los Angeles S-S 5:00 a.m. to Midnight G1 LADOT L.A.-Rancho Palos M-F Peak Hours/direction 448 Verdes Express only Harbor Transitway page 2 The six MTA lines have a combined patronage of over 9,300 daily riders. About 3,000 use the freeway portion of these routes while the remaining passengers use the local route portion. The two current on-line Harbor -110- Freeway stops located at Manchester and Slauson Avenues generate approximately 130 combined daily boardings. Because there are no park-ride facilities at these stops, they currently serve primarily as transfer locations between local surface street lines and the Harbor Freeway bus services. Existing east/west local lines crossing at or near proposed Transi tway station locations generate approximately 2,800 daily transfers to and from parallel north/south lines on either Figueroa Street or Broadway. Table A shows in detail the passenger activi ty at the Transitway station locations. Table A Existing Passenger Activity at Proposed station Locations Transitway station Ons Offs 37th Street 46 29 Slauson Avenue 67 89 Manchester Avenue 667 586 century 105 Freeway 1,234 1,281 Rosecrans Avenue 456 400 Artesia Boulevard 154 178 Pacific Coast Hwy. 30 27 San Pedro 77 77 Ons Offs Total Passenger Activity 2,731 2,667 2.0 HARBOR TRANSITWAY DESIGN The Transitway is being constructed in the median of the Harbor -110- Freeway. The 10.3 mile section from 37th Street south to the Artesia -91- Freeway will be separated from the regular freeway and will be operated exclusively as an independent guideway. The guideway will feature 2.6 miles of elevated structure and 7. 7 miles at-grade. South of the Artesia -91- Freeway, the Harbor Freeway Harbor Transitway page 3 will be widened from six to eight lanes to allow for a mixed-flow HOV lane, where buses will operate on the freeway proper. When completed, the Transitway will have nine stations between San Pedro and the southern edge of Downtown Los Angeles. Scheduled to open in 1995, the Transitway will feature separate bus-carpool HOV lanes, with two travel lanes in either direction. There will be six on-line transit stations with park-ride lots located at Slauson Avenue, Manchester Avenue, the Glen Anderson -105- Freeway, Rosecrans Avenue, and Artesia Boulevard. These stations will be located in the median of the Transitway. Between Artesia Boulevard and San Pedro, buses will operate in mixed-flow in each direction. stations are planned at Carson Street, Pacific Coast

  • Attachment A: FY16Q1 Status Update
    ATTACHMENT A FY16Q1 STATUS UPDATE ON RIDERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE INITIATIVES MARKET RESEARCH Analysis of Service to Regional Employment Centers Employment is the primary external factor influencing ridership, particularly on our rail and BRT system. Downtown LA can be considered the region’s primary Central Business District (CBD), and as such, is already well served by transit. However, Operations has identified an additional 24 employment centers throughout the region with high densities of employment, regional destinations, and activities. Once identified, ridership in these areas was compared to journey to work data to evaluate current and potential ridership. This information will assist Operations in adjusting services to better meet these employment travel demands. Social Media Research The Communications team is embarking on several efforts to better understand existing and potential new riders through social and electronic media. To better understand existing riders, Communications is partnering with the TAP team to collect rider email addresses to be matched against social media accounts to gain a deeper understanding of rider demographics. Improvements to our Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) system should also provide an opportunity to connect rider information between their TAP usage, social media information, and customer service calls. Communications is also procuring services of a social media advertising buyer tasked with identifying existing and potential riders for targeted advertisement. Using our existing email lists, social media follower information, look-a-like modeling, and third party marketing sources that create customized client lists based on a vast array of consumer information, we will be able to gain insight into the demographic and psychographic characteristics of various rider and non-rider market segments.

  • Introduction Metro Expresslanes
    Introducing Metro ExpressLanes The how-to guide for a faster commute on the 110 and 10 freeways Imagine spending less time on the freeway. It’s easy…sign up and save time! Welcome to Metro ExpressLanes – faster commutes and more transportation choices. Starting this Saturday, November 10, the carpool lanes on the 110 Harbor Freeway – between the 91 freeway and Adams Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles – will become Metro ExpressLanes. For the first time, these lanes will be open to solo drivers for a toll. All drivers will need a FasTrak® transponder to use the ExpressLanes. Carpools with two or more people, vanpools and motorcycles with a FasTrak will continue to travel toll-free. And early next year, commuters on the 10 El Monte Busway – between the 605 freeway and Alameda Street in downtown Los Angeles – will also have access to newly-converted ExpressLanes. Our goal is to move more people – not more vehicles – by o=ering more transportation choices. The program features and benefits include: > 59 new clean-fuel buses To access Metro ExpressLanes: > Carpool Loyalty Program for carpools, vanpools and motorcycles Sign up for a FasTrak account and receive your transponder. > New El Monte Station > Widened Adams Boulevard o=-ramp and added a new lane on Mount the FasTrak transponder in your vehicle.
