| Abstract | In September, 1976 representatives of the City of Los Angeles, CalTrans, Southern California Association of Governments, the County of Los Angeles and the Southern California Rapid Transit District decided that the District should submit an application to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) for financing to proceed with a four-point Regional Transportation Development Program to address the increasing transportation problems in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area. Element IV of the program, which involves evaluation of alternative transit solutions for the Regional Core Area, is the subject of this report. Eleven alternatives have been evaluated. Five of these, called "Rail Rapid Transit/Bus" alternatives are made up of a line-haul rail rapid transit facility supplemented by a network of feeder buses. Five others called "All-bus" alternatives, are made up of line haul and feeder buses operating under conditions ranging from an exclusive, grade-separated aerial busway to the reservation of existing surface lanes for express buses to simply incremental improvements to the service level of the present bus system operating in mixed traffic on public streets and freeways. The eleventh or "Null" or "No Build" alternative represents no improvement to the present transit system, and is used herein as a base for comparative evaluations. |
