Metro Orange Line Canoga Extension - Recommended Option

Based on public comment, staff recommends Option 3-B with amodification for late night service follows:

Alternating trips between NH-WC and NH-Chatsworth Operate at all times except late night Operate on weekdays and weekends

New shuttle service between Warner Center and Chatsworth weekday peaks only about every 15 to coordinate with Metrolink

trains Provide service with 40 or 45 buses

All trips to Warner Center and Chatsworth during late night

Transition occurs when trunk headways are every 20 Operate late night pattern on weekdays and weekends


10/12

Benefits of Recommended Option

Alternating trips provide one seat ride and direct trip from North Hollywood to Warner

Center or North Hollywood to Chatsworth thoughout the day on weekdays andweekends.

Weekday shuttle provides a one seat ride between Chatsworth and Warner Centerduring the peaks without having to transfer between trips at the Canoga Station.

Combined midday service levels on the trunk route will be improved from every 10-11to every 10 on weekdays and from every 12 every 10 on Saturdays.

Operating all trips to both Warner Center and Chatsworth during the late evening whentrunk service levels are scheduled at 20 ; provides one seat ride to both stationswithout a late night transfer at Canoga Station and avoids long waits between trips atWarner Center and four new stations along Canoga Extension.

Allows the most scheduling flexibility to either branch and on the new shuttle sinceridership along the Canoga Corridor is unknown at this time but is projected to be9,000 in 2030.
