G Line
Updating a critical bus route in Los Angeles.
Updating a critical bus route in Los Angeles.
The LACMTA G-Line (previously Orange Line) is an existing bus route in a dedicated corridor with the highest number of active riders in the San Fernando Valley. It extends from the North Hollywood B-Line station to the Chatsworth Metrolink Station in the northwest valley, and will provider riders with access to the East San Fernando Light Rail once completed.
The G-Line BRT Improvements Project will improve the existing Bus Rapid Transit system by reducing travel times by an average of 29%, and allowing for an approximately 39% capacity increase. It will also utilize zero-emission buses (ZEB) to become one of the largest ZEB BRT routes in the country.
Operations are continuiing during construction, with railroad-style four-quadrant gates at 13 intersections and improved traffic signal priority at all the other intersections. Additionally, three grade separated bridges will also be installed, including an aerial station.
