North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor Project

The North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Corridor Project, managed by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, aims to deliver enhanced regional transit service through the implementation of key BRT features such as dedicated bus lanes, transit signal priority, and upgraded stations with all-door boarding. This initiative, previously approved with a certified Environmental Impact Report on April 28, 2022, is now moving forward with the establishment of its life-of-project budget, which does not alter the scope, design, or environmental determinations of the originally approved plan. No additional environmental review is required, as all physical activities proposed under this budget are fully encompassed within the scope of the certified EIR. The project is designed to improve mobility and connectivity across the corridor by providing faster, more reliable bus service, reducing travel times, and encouraging transit adoption. All work will be conducted within the boundaries and environmental conditions analyzed in the original review, ensuring compliance without further regulatory steps. The lead point of contact for this initiative is Scott Hartwell, Senior Manager of Transportation Planning, who can be reached through the provided email and phone for inquiries. The project remains aligned with broader regional transportation goals and is forecasted to advance under the agency’s authority without the need for new solicitations or competitive bidding at this stage.
