    The document summarizes plans to enhance capacity on I-5 North between Santa Clarita and Kern County. Phase 2a would add carpool lanes from SR-14 to Parker Rd., but is underfunded by $100 million. To fully fund the project by 2019, officials propose a public-private partnership allowing tolls to be charged in the new lanes. Tolls would vary by time of day and traffic, and be optional for drivers. The lanes are aimed to improve traffic flow and safety while generating funds to expedite construction.

    I-5 North Capacity Enhancements


    Presentation for the Daily News
    February 13th, 2013

    Background
    The City of Santa Clarita has grown from 79,000 people in 1979 to more than 201,000 in 2012 and is expected to grow as documented in the City of Santa Claritas One Vision One Valley Plan.

    Feb. 2013

    Traffic is getting worse


    Future plans call for improvements to the I-5, including carpool lanes, but funding for the next phase of about 13.5 miles in each direction of carpool lanes is not available until 2040 or later

    I-5 North Improvements


    Metros Long Range Plan identifies improvements to I-5, including truck lanes and carpool lanes from the SR-14 to Kern County Cost approximately $5B Available funds ~$500M in 2040

    Feb. 2013

    Project Phases

    Feb. 2013

    Phase 1: Add truck lane from SR-14 to Pico Canyon (construction complete by 2014) Phase 2a: Add carpool lanes from SR-14 to Parker Rd. (in planning, partially funded) Phase 2b: Add lanes from Parker Rd. towards Kern County Line (unfunded)

    Phase 2a Funding Shortfall

    Cost (~$410M)

    Shortfall (~$100M)

    Available Funds (~$310M)

    30 Year Funding Plan LRTP Funds

    Funding/Delivery Options
    Option 1: Public Funding: Not available until 2040 and project will still need extra funds Option 2: Partial Project: Build segments over 30 years Option 3: Tolling new carpool lanes using Public Private Partnership to build the entire project by 2019

    Feb. 2013

    How would this Public Private Partnership work?


    Permitted by law: Street and Highways Code Section 143 A private firm would be hired to finance, build and manage the lanes Entire project could be completed by 2019 The I-5 could be part of the Accelerated Regional Transportation Improvements (ARTI) which encompasses 6 highway projects throughout the County

    Feb. 2013

    How Would Carpool/Toll Lanes Work?


    Feb. 2013

    Free for cars with three or more passengers Buses, van pools, and motorcycles free Cars with two people would be free outside of peak hours Single motorists could use lanes for a fee/toll

    How much would the toll cost?

    Feb. 2013

    State law requires a public hearing


    Tolls would vary depending on the time of day and traffic: the exact amounts have not been set

    As an example, tolls on the Metro ExpressLanes range between 25 cents and $1.40 per mile
    In exchange for the toll, the lanes are managed so traffic does not drop below 45 mph

    10

    What are the benefits of toll lanes?


    These are optional tolls, and the choice is yours. You pay only if you choose to use them Less time driving and commuting whether in a car or on a bus Vehicles using the new lanes should expect to use less gas than they would in stop-and-start traffic and therefore help improve air quality

    Feb. 2013

    Trucks would not be permitted in the lanes

    11

    What happens to the existing lanes on the I-5?


    All the existing lanes will continue to be used for free no lanes would be taken away as part of the project
    The existing lanes would also be repaved as part of the project The toll lanes are expected to ease congestion in the general lanes and motorists may see some gas savings The new truck lanes will also improve safety and traffic for cars
