VTA is exploring ways to increase its revenues from highway express lanes while managing ongoing budget deficits. The agency oversees public transportation and is converting carpool lanes into express lanes since 2012. Plans for a new express lane on Highway 101 from Dunne Avenue to the San Mateo County border are under consideration. Funding has been inconsistent, leading to phased installations. Express lanes are intended primarily for congestion management, providing significant time savings during peak hours.
"I think there's a lot of benefit to doing it. It helps get the money to transit faster than otherwise."
"Express lanes decrease travel time by up to 20 minutes during peak congestion."
