TRAFFIC SIGNAL PRIORITY THROUGH SIGNAL CONTROL : THE GLENDALE CALIFORNIA, OUTLOOK

To improve the operations of its Beeline bus transit system, Glendale applied for and received funding from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority (LACMTA) to implement a transit priority pilot project. This paper discusses this pilot project now in progress. Currently throughout Los Angeles County, high emphasis is being placed on the use of signal synchronization and bus speed improvement projects to provide additional person-trip capacity on surface streets. In fact, the Glendale traffic signal priority (TSP) project is one of several TSP pilot projects currently being funded by the LACMTA in an effort to identify which systems can best provide TSP for transit. The LACMTA is also sponsoring other TSP projects
