Estimated Project Completion

2028

Metro’s North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project will connect North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Eagle Rock, and Pasadena with faster, more reliable bus service. Zero-emission electric buses will operate in dedicated lanes, improving travel times, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing regional air quality. The project offers a sustainable east-west connection to jobs, schools, and services across both valleys. Environmental review was completed in 2022, and design is now advancing. Utility surveys are expected in summer 2025, with construction starting late 2025 or early 2026. This project supports Metro’s sustainability, equity, and access goals.
