EQUITY PLATFORM
This report is provided on a regular basis and includes high-level summary updates on multiple projects. Equity assessments for each project were provided as a baseline summary in October 2024 (File #2024-0507).
The following equity assessment baseline is being provided for the I-405 Sepulveda Pass (Phase 1) ExpressLanes Project that was recently added to the Complete Streets & Highways Project Update in Attachment C.
Complete Streets and Highways Projects
I-405 Sepulveda Pass (Phase 1) ExpressLanes Project (I-405 ExpressLanes) is currently in the environmental phase and includes evaluating four alternatives (no build and three build alternatives) to determine the feasibility of converting existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes or carpool lanes into dynamically priced, high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, called ExpressLanes, in both directions along I-405 between I-10 and US 101. Equity considerations have been integrated and will continue to be part of the environmental process. Eighteen percent (18%) of the I-405 ExpressLanes extension three-mile buffer project area is in 13 Equity Focus Communities (EFCs). The remaining project area (82%) comprises non-EFCs. EFCs along the I-405 ExpressLanes Project corridor are prioritized for engagement to ensure inclusive, meaningful public participation through digital communications, participation in community events, and outreach through Community Based Organizations (CBOs).
