RAND HIGH IMPACT RECOMMENDATIONS

I

Improve Signal Timing

Prioritize and fund investments in upgraded signal timing and control in cities where the current technology is deficient, coordinate signal timing between jurisdictions, and ensure that newly installed technology enables signal prioritization for bus rapid transit.

Comment  

II

Peak-Hour Curb Parking Restrictions

Restrict peak-hour curb parking on all congested thoroughfares and dedicate the additional capacity to bus-only lanes where merited.

Comment  

III

Network of Paired "One-Way" Streets

Develop a network of paired one-way streets in high-volume travel corridors throughout the region.

Comment  

IV

Traffic Demand Management (TDM)

Bolster outreach efforts to promote voluntary Traffic Demand Management (TDM) — including ridesharing, telecommuting, and flexible work hours — at businesses and other large organizations throughout the County.

Comment  

V

High Occupancy / Toll Lanes (HOT)

Develop a network of High Occupancy / Toll (HOT) lanes on freeways throughout Los Angeles County and apply the net revenue to the subsidization of express bus service in the HOT lanes.

Comment  

VI

Variable Curb Parking Rates

Implement variable rates for curb parking in congested commercial and retail districts; return a share of the revenue to local merchants to invest in public amenities, and use the remainder to fund municipal transportation investments.

Comment  

VII

Parking "Cash Out"

Enforce the existing State of California parking "cash out" law (to lease out the value of parking spaces) at the municipal level in cities where a significant share of employers lease parking.

Comment  

VIII

Deeply Discounted Annual Transit Passes For Employers

Develop and aggressively market deeply discounted transit fares to employers in areas well-served by transit.

Comment  

IX

Dedicated Bus-Only Lanes

Expand rapid transit in urban areas with dedicated bus-only lanes on the arterial network and express freeway service in HOT lanes.

Comment  

X

Region-Wide Bicycle Network

Develop an integrated, region-wide bicycle network, with specific focus on dense urban areas in which bicycles can potentially serve a large share of trips.

Comment  

XI

Incident Management Program on Streets as well as Highways

Evaluate the costs and benefits of implementing an incident management system on the arterial network.

Comment  

XII

Cordon Congestion Tolls

Evaluate the potential for Implementing cordon congestion tolls around major activity centers in the region.

Comment  

XIII

Fuel Taxes

Implement local fuel tax levies at the County level to raise transportation revenues and (to a lesser extent) reduce the demand for driving.
