•The project aims to improve bus travel times by adding crossing gates and/or grade separations to the Orange Line to get buses through intersections in the San Fernando Valley more quickly.

•The time savings could be significant. For example, one scenario that would add crossing gates at 30 intersections and a one-mile bridge from Sepulveda to Van Nuys boulevards could cut 13 minutes of ride time between NoHo and Canoga Station and 16 minutes between NoHo and Chatsworth Stations. More details are here.

•The goal is to break ground on the project in 2019 and finish it by 2025. This project is a good way to make the Orange Line better and prepare it for its eventual conversion to light rail.
