I-5 N Capacity Enhancements could see Toll Road as part of this Metro
P# Project
Overview:
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is exploring options to
accelerate the construction of 13.5 miles of carpool lanes on the I-5 from SR-14 to Parker Road in
the North County of Los Angeles.
Instead of waiting 30 years to finance and build the carpool lanes through the Santa Clarita area,
Metro is proposing to finish the project by 2018 by having vehicles with one or two passengers pay a
toll to use the new lanes. The tolls would raise the money needed to build the lanes immediately.
The new lanes would be managed so that speeds do not fall below 45 miles per hour. The lanes would
also add capacity to the I-5 freeway through Santa Clarita which is now the third-largest city in Los
Angeles County and is expected to add more than 50,000 people by 2035 as documented in the City Of
Santa Clarita's "One Vision One Valley" plan. The new lanes should provide a much faster and smoother
commute when combined with the truck-only lanes being built on either side of Newhall Pass.
Upcoming Community Meetings:

Council Chambers, City Hall

Metro encourages you to become involved with the project planning by coming to learn about the key
features, asking questions and provide important feedback. Content at all meetings will be identical;
please attend the location most convenient for you. All meetings are open to the public and we urge
you to invite your friends and neighbors.
