Abstract:This report presents the Transit System Data Test Plan for the national evaluation of the Los Angeles Congestion
Reduction Demonstration (Metro ExpressLanes) under the United States Department of Transportation
(U.S. DOT) Congestion Reduction Demonstration (CRD) Program. The Los Angeles CRD projects focus on
reducing traffic congestion by employing strategies consisting of combinations of tolling, transit,
telecommuting/travel demand management (TDM), and technology, also known as the 4Ts. Tolling (pricing)
strategies include converting high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on the two freeway corridors to variablypriced
high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, adding a second HOT lane to portions of one corridor, and
implementation of a downtown LA intelligent parking management system featuring demand-based pricing and
real-time parking availability information. Transit improvements include increased bus service, transit station
security improvements, expansion of two transit stations, creation of an El Monte Busway/Union Station bus
service connection, and the expansion of downtown LA transit signal priority. TDM strategies aim to establish
100 new registered vanpools. This Transit System Data Test Plan is one of ten test plans being developed. The
other nine test plans consist of the following: traffic; tolling; surveys, interviews and workshops; ridesharing,
safety; environmental; content; cost-benefit, and exogenous factors. Each test plan is based on the Los Angeles
County Congestion Reduction Demonstration (LA CRD) National Evaluation Plan. This test plan describes
transit system data sources, data availability, and data analysis. The schedule and responsibilities for collecting,
analyzing, and reporting the transit system data are also presented.
