WHAT IS RAPID TRANSIT? STUDYING TRANSIT IN GLENDALE

A rapid transit line between the San Fernando Valley, Burbank, Glendale
and Pasadena has been studied for decades.
For Space 134, rapid transit could be built in three phases:
Frequent, all-day rapid bus
Bus rapid transit with a station in the freeway median
Light rail transit system with a station in the freeway median
Bus signal priority over other vehicles
Lower floors & fewer stops means shorter
travel times by as much as 29 percent
In 2014, Metro completed a study for a
Countywide BRT system with the goal to
improve travel time and schedule reliability.
The North Hollywood to Pasadena corridor was
highly recommended for BRT and a feasibility
and operational design assessment is currently
underway.
This would connect the North Hollywood Metro
Red/Orange Line Station to the City of Pasadena
via the 134 Freeway.
By integrating transit into Space 134, residents
and visitors will receive a greater range of
efficient mobility options.
BRT buses have similar benefits as Rapid
buses, but...
BRT buses travel on a fully-dedicated right-
of-way to avoid traffic congestion
Uses dedicated rail lines as opposed to
being confined to driving on streets
Faster travel times often than Rapid buses
and BRT buses

WHICH SERVICES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
WHAT COULD IT LOOK LIKE?
Mobility hubs are inter-modal transit stations that offer a range of
transportation options for its users. The concentration of services
has the benefit of seamless transferring between different modes.
With the potential of rapid transit coming to Glendale, Space 134
can be designed with a mobility hub!
