Metro has a plan to ease traffic and enhance safety on Interstate 105 (I-105) freeway includes the conversion of the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, or carpool lane, into two Metro Expresslanes  in each direction on the I-105 freeway. Metro ExpressLanes are available for use by all motorists, as a toll-free option to carpools and by paying a toll for single occupant drivers.   

The I-105 ExpressLanes Project seeks to do the following:  

• Enhance freeway operations and safety by improving traffic flow and reducing stop and go conditions
•  Ease congestion by improving travel speeds on the ExpressLanes to meet the federal standard
•  Reduce freeway overflow traffic onto nearby city streets
•  Reinvest the revenue from the use of toll lanes on mobility improvements and transit projects in communities along the corridor     

This Project expands the network of Metro ExpressLanes in LA County and provides direct access and connection to the I-110 Metro ExpressLanes, helping to reduce congestion, improve travel efficiency and enhance highway safety.
