Metro Proposes Traffic Reduction Plan with Congestion Pricing on Roads and Freeways

Brentwood Residents Can Give Feedback at Community Council Meeting

By Dolores Quintana

Metro has revealed a comprehensive plan to streamline transportation with its Traffic Reduction Study (TRS), investigating the potential benefits of congestion pricing to alleviate traffic congestion. The initiative aims to effectively reduce congestion, bolster economic opportunities, cut air and climate pollution, enhance road safety and transit efficiency, and reinvest in communities.

Brentwood residents can voice concerns, pose questions, and express views at the Brentwood Community Council monthly meeting this Wednesday, December 13, at the Brentwood Presbyterian Church from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Parking is available behind the church in the private parking lot. Further details can be found at https://www.metro.net/projects/trafficreduction.

The strategy encompasses managing travel demand through congestion pricing to use roads and freeways, providing more high-quality transportation options, and offering low-income assistance programs.

For a detailed understanding of congestion pricing, refer to our informative video, “A New Approach to Reducing Traffic” (versión en español). Metro is currently conducting a second round of technical modeling, focusing on three potential pilot concepts:

Santa Monica Mountains – Pricing on I-405, US-101, I-5, and multiple canyon arterial roads between I-405 and US-101.
DTLA – Pricing on surface streets within the DTLA freeway ring and on freeways passing through DTLA.
I-10 – Pricing on I-10 between DTLA and the western terminus of the freeway in Santa Monica.

Metro wants to engage with stakeholders and communities to gather insights and identify necessary transportation investments, low-income assistance programs, and other strategies for a pilot program. The engagement process will prioritize reaching diverse stakeholders, hard-to-reach groups, and low-income populations to ensure equitable advancements.

The feasibility study is expected to be submitted to the Board for consideration in early 2024. If the Board endorses recommendations, the project will progress to a more detailed environmental review.
