In 1998, Metro initiated the Countywide Bus Signal Priority Pilot Project as part of an effort to design, develop, implement, and evaluate a multi-jurisdictional bus signal priority system as well as develop countywide signal priority guidelines for Los Angeles County. The CSP Pilot Project was a collaborative effort bringing together multiple jurisdictions and transit operators that resulted in the development of a wireless signal priority standard for Los Angeles County.

This was a follow-up to the previous successful demonstration pilot and the first phase of an expansion effort to implement signal priority on seven Metro Rapid corridors traversing through 24 jurisdictions. In accordance with the Metro Rapid Five-Year Implementation Plan, the first phase focused on providing bus signal priority for four Metro Rapid corridors including, Pacific-Long Beach, Soto, Hawthorne, and Florence. In 2008, Metro initiated work on the second phase of the Countywide Metro Rapid Signal Priority Expansion Project to implement signal priority along the Manchester, Garvey-Chavez and Atlantic Metro Rapid corridors. Additional communication enhancements for Metro fleet operations have taken place as part of that phase.
