Metro ExpressLanes is a pilot, one-year demonstration program overseen by Metro and Caltrans to improve mobility and sustainability on two of our busiest freeways in Los Angeles County. This program offers an innovative package of transit and roadway improvements to introduce congestion pricing as a new way to travel. Existing carpool lanes on I-10 (from I-605 to Alameda Street) and on I-110 (from SR91/Artesia Transit Center to Adams Boulevard) are being converted to High Occupancy Toll lanes known as Metro ExpressLanes. The general purpose lanes will not be tolled. The Metro ExpressLanes will offer reduced congestion and provide another travel option for solo drivers by paying a toll, while carpoolers that meet the occupancy requirements, transit, and motorcycles will continue to use the lanes toll free.
