PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Sepulveda Transit Corridor project will serve as a vital link to the communities of greater Los Angeles, connecting the San Fernando Valley and the Westside and providing a fast, safe and reliable alternative to the congested I-405 freeway. The underground heavy rail line is anticipated to provide travel times of a standard less than 20 minutes as compared to an unpredictable 40-80 minutes by car. Currently, less than 2% of the approximately 400,000 daily weekday trips through the Sepulveda Corridor are made by public transit, via bus, and a typical San Fernando Valley commuter loses 59 hours per year to traffic delays just from the evening drive home on I-405 between Wilshire Boulevard and Ventura Boulevard. |
