We’re studying mass transit options for the East San Fernando Valley.
east san fernando valley transit corridor study projectFrequently Asked Questions february 2016
Metro and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), in coordination with the cities of Los Angeles and San Fernando, are evaluating the feasibility of a major mass transit project that would operate in the center or curb-lane of Van Nuys Boulevard from the Van Nuys Metro Orange Line, north to San Fernando Road. From there, the proposed alignment would proceed northwest on or adjacent to San Fernando Road to the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station – a distance of 9.2 miles.

East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Study Project: Project Study Area
1. What is the process for studying this project? The East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor must go through an environmental review process consistent with federal and state guidelines. The process began with the completion of an Alternatives Analysis (AA) Report (a report that considered all feasible alternatives for the corridor) and continued with the refinement of the alternatives and now the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (DEIS/DEIR). Metro will submit an administrative Draft EIS to the FTA for review and approval.
Once the Draft EIS/EIR has been approved by the FTA, the document will be circulated for a 45-day public review and comment period. During this period, Metro will hold public hearings on the document throughout the corridor to present its findings and to obtain comments on the document. After conclusion of the public comment period, the Metro Board of Directors will be asked to select a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). After the LPA is selected, Metro will prepare the Final EIS/EIR. This document will address public comments received, as well as if there are any areas requiring further technical analysis. The Metro Board will then be asked to certify the EIR (the State environmental document) and it becomes final. The federal environmental review process concludes when the FTA grants the project a Record of Decision (ROD).
2. How was the study area determined? Initially, an alignment along Van Nuys Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard (as well as several hybrids of both) were considered as these two boulevards realize the greatest north/south transit ridership and the greatest congestion in the San Fernando Valley. After completing a technical review and after considering hundreds of community comments (most expressing a preference for service on Van Nuys Boulevard), it was determined that the project should focus on Van Nuys Boulevard. In addition to this boulevard being the busiest north-south transit corridor in the San Fernando Valley, it includes the Civic Center and other primary origin/destination points, including the Van Nuys Metrolink station.
Also based on community comments and a technical review, the northern origination/terminus of the corridor was changed from Van Nuys Boulevard and the Interstate-210 Freeway, to the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink Station. This location is serviced by a number of local and rapid buses and provides a connection to regional commuter rail service that connects with Santa Clarita and the Antelope Valley communities.
3. How were the build alternatives developed? Initially, approximately 130 build alternatives were given consideration, which consisted of a combination of alignments and modal options. After completing
East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Study Project: FAQs
analysis and hosting a series of community meetings where feedback was encouraged and received, in January 2013 an Alternatives Analysis (AA) report was completed. This report recommended the Van Nuys Boulevard/San Fernando Road alignment (see map) and recommended evaluating Rail and Bus Rapid Transit modal opportunities. As a result of comments received at project scoping meetings and through a more in-depth corridor analysis, the study alternatives were refined throughout 2013 and 2014.
4. What are the refined alternatives being studied now? Four “build” alternatives are being evaluated:
alternative 1: curb-running bus rapid transit (brt)Similar to the Wilshire BRT service, high-capacity, clean-fuel/Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses would operate in dedicated “bus only” lanes, running along the curb for 6.7 miles on Van Nuys Boulevard and for 2.5 miles in mixed-flow lanes along San Fernando Road either operating 24 hours or only in peak periods. The alternative would include 18 enhanced stations.
alternative 2: median-running brtSimilar to the Metro Orange Line, high-capacity, clean-fuel/Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses would operate in a 6.7 mile dedicated median busway in the center of Van Nuys Boulevard and 2.5 miles of mixed flow operations along San Fernando Road and would include 17 enhanced stations.
alternative 3: low-floor light rail transit (lrt)/tramSimilar to surface-running rail systems in San Diego, San Francisco, and Portland, low-floor, electric-powered rail vehicles would operate in a dedicated guideway in the center of Van Nuys Boulevard for 6.7 miles and 2.5 miles mixed-flow lanes along San Fernando Road with 28 enhanced stations.
alternative 4: light rail transit (lrt)Similar to the existing Metro Blue, Green, Gold, and Expo Lines, overhead electric-powered rail vehicles would operate on a dedicated guideway in the middle of Van Nuys Boulevard, with 2.5 miles underground between Sherman Way and Roscoe. The trains would operate for 2.5 miles on railroad right-of-way adjacent to San Fernando Road.
5. How much does each build alternative cost? Currently, all costs are preliminary capital costs in 2014 dollars and are subject to change. Once an LPA is selected, a more detailed cost estimate will be available.
> Curb-Running BRT: $ 294 million > Median-Running BRT: $402 million > Low-Floor Light Rail Transit/Tram: $1.3 billion > Light Rail Transit: $2.7 billion
6. How much money is available for the Project and what are the funding sources? The Project has $170.1 million in funding reserved through Metro’s 2009 Long-Range Transportation Plan, which includes $68.5 million from Measure R, the half-cent sales tax increase approved by Los Angeles County voters in 2008. Additional funds will need to be identified from other sources in order to cover the cost of any of the four transit alternatives being studied. The project may also be built in phases to match available funding. These options will all be evaluated as the study progresses.
7. What other alternatives are being evaluated? The federal and state environmental process requires that the following low or no-cost alternatives be considered:
no build: This looks at the study area in 2040 without any new project. It incorporates existing roads, highways, transit services and facilities, as well as any other future projects that are included in the Metro Board adopted 2009 Long Range Transportation Plan for implementation by 2040.
transportation systems management (tsm): This option considers low-cost capital and operations improvements to the transportation system, such as improvements to signal timing, enhancing existing bus service, widening targeted intersections, etc.
8. What factors will be used to evaluate the various project alternatives? The alternatives will be evaluated using the following screening criteria:
> Mobility Benefits and Impacts > Regional Connectivity > Cost-E=ectiveness (such as capital and operating costs) > Environmental Benefits and Impacts > Land Use Considerations (such as job creation,
development opportunities and quality of life improvements)
> Community Input > Financial Capability
9. What are some of the existing conditions of the Study Area, specifically Van Nuys Boulevard? > Van Nuys Boulevard realizes approximately 25,000
daily/weekday boardings.> The corridor has more transit-dependency, more
zero-vehicles households and greater poverty than Los Angeles County averages.
> Of the transit trips, 50% stay within the corridor.> More than half of the boardings within the study area
occur within the three-mile segment between the Metro Orange Line to the south and the Panorama City Mall to the north.
> In the congested segments of the corridor, bus speeds drop to as low as 10 mph during the afternoon peak-periods (3 to 6pm).
East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Study Project: FAQs
> The corridor has the 7th highest transit boardings in the entire Metro system.
> The corridor has the 2nd highest transit boardings in the San Fernando Valley, following the Metro Orange Line.
10. How will the proposed East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Project improve transit connections to the entire region? The East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor intersects with the Metro Orange Line, which connects to the Metro Red Line in North Hollywood. It also connects with Metrolink and Amtrak stations providing linkages to regional destinations.
11. How will the proposed East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Project work with the Sepulveda Pass Transit Corridor Project? The Sepulveda Pass Transit Corridor Project is also a Measure R transit project. This future project is intended to improve connections between the San Fernando Valley and West Los Angeles and beyond. This future improvement has not been defined. Options range from BRT in High Occupancy Vehicle/Express Lanes along the I-405 Freeway to a full transit/highway tunnel extending under the Pass from the Metro Orange Line to the future Metro Purple Line and/or Metro Expo Line Stations in West Los Angeles. Planners for the East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor and the Sepulveda Pass Transit Corridor Project are working together to ensure coordination between the two projects.
12. Is Metro working with other agencies on the East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Project? As part of its planning process, Metro is collaborating with several agencies, including the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), City of San Fernando, Metrolink and the California High-Speed Rail Authority. Any future Metro project must take into consideration the City of Los Angeles Mobility Plan; the City of Los Angeles Great Streets program, which includes two sections of Van Nuys Boulevard; potential projects planned by the City of San Fernando; the proposed Metrolink safety improvements between Brighton and Roxford; and the possible future development of High Speed Rail service that will connect downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco.
13. Is Metro studying Active Transportation needs for the corridor? As a part of the environmental study, Metro is evaluating the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians throughout the study area with an emphasis on safety and maximizing first-mile, last-mile connections to each future station.
14. Will a new storage and maintenance facility be needed? If a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project is selected as the preferred alternative, the service would be supported with Metro’s existing bus maintenance facilities though they may need some modifications. If a Light Rail Transit (LRT) or Tram alternative becomes the preferred alternative, a new facility would be needed to store and maintain the rail/tram cars. Three candidate locations have been identified for a rail yard, all three of which are to the west of Van Nuys Boulevard. The first is south of the Metro Orange Line and behind the fire station on Van Nuys Boulevard. The other two are adjacent to the Ventura Metrolink tracks that are just north of Saticoy. The first is to the immediate south of the tracks and the second to its immediate north. The candidate rail yards are located within a ¼-mile of the route (Van Nuys Boulevard) in an area zoned for industrial use, and are approximately 20 acres in size.
East San Fernando Valley Transit Corridor Study Project: FAQs
15. How will public input be reflected in the study? Public input is a critical element of the planning process and has already influenced the study. Metro has hosted numerous community meetings to update residents, businesses, elected o;cials and stakeholders on the study’s progress. Based on comments received at earlier stages, the project has evaluated di=erent travel modes, routes and origin/destination points. Public input will continue to be one of the factors used to analyze the alternatives being evaluated for this project. All feedback received will be summarized, documented and shared with the Metro Board of Directors. While public input is gathered throughout the study e=ort, there are two “formal” public comment periods.
scoping meetings: The work on the Draft EIS/EIR began with a “scoping period” from March 1 through May 6, 2013. During this time, the public was invited to provide input on the issues they suggested the study analyze. Public comments were received in person during scoping meetings and in writing.
public hearings: Prior to consideration and action by the Metro Board of Directors, the Draft EIS/EIR will be released for a 45-day public review period. This is the time when the public can submit “official” comments and questions for further consideration by the Metro Board as it considers its selection of the Locally Preferred Alternative and for additional analysis during development of the Final EIS/EIR. Comments and questions may be submitted in writing either at public hearings or to Metro prior to the end of the 45-day public comment period.
