Northridge East Neighborhood Council urges the extension of the City’s DASH bus route to serve the CSUN Transit Station located on Vincennes Street just east of Darby Avenue. Let’s make it easier for CSUN commuters to park their cars elsewhere other than in Northridge! Currently the closest stop is Nordhoff Street and Reseda Boulevard. See route map posted below.

FACT SHEET
WHAT IS THE LADOT TRANSIT SERVICE ANALYSIS?
The City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT)’s Transit Service Analysis is a thorough line by line analysis designed to shape the future of Commuter Express, DASH and Cityride Services.
Analyze current transit services
Determine whether the existing services are meeting expectations
Identify service expansion opportunities
Identify new transit routes
Evaluate Commuter Express and DASH to improve their efficiency and cost – effectiveness, increase ridership and revenue
Review LADOT’s Cityride Program to examine service options, methods to make the van and taxi services more productive, and identify new approaches to delivering these services.
WHY IS THE LADOT TRANSIT SERVICE ANALYSIS NEEDED?
Los Angeles is an ever-changing city. Its population is one of the most diverse of any city in the US and the transportation needs of its residents are just as diverse. The LADOT Transit Services Analysis took into consideration changes around Los Angeles such as new residential pockets and new employment growth in opportunity areas as well as the public input received to date.
The goals for the study are consistent with the 2014 LADOT Strategic Plan entitled “Great Streets for Los Angeles.” Related goals include:
Meet Growing Demands: The growing regional rail network and expanding bus rapid transit networks will also increase the demand for transit connectivity within LADOT Transit services. LADOT intends to improve regional connectivity and
expand the network of bus services.
Optimize Resources: Insure that LADOT Transit is providing the right types and levels of service and at the most reasonable prices for riders and taxpayers.
Complement Other Transportation Initiatives: LADOT Transit’s future plans are tied to the expansive commitments made by the City of Los Angeles to projects like bicycle lanes, the Great Streets Program to support neighborhood growth and the Mayor’s Initiative to use data to improve all city services.
