This fall, Congress approved the 2nd installment of the $23.3 million federal funding for the Wilshire Bus-Only Lanes Project. The Bus-Only Lanes on Wilshire Boulevard came out of the Clean Air Campaign's success in attracting 17,000 new riders onto the buses when it won implementation of the Wilshire Rapid Bus express service in 2000. The city will be conducting an Environmental Impact Report and we could see the first bus only lane in the city by 2011. One lane of automobiles carries an average of about 1,200 people per hour while a bus-only lane has the capacity to carry at least 6,000-7,000 passengers per hour. The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) estimates that the Wilshire Bus Only Lane Project alone would result in at least a 10% mode shift from cars to transit on the corridor and cardon emissions that cause global warming.
