SB 1 FUNDS FOR

FY 18-19

US 101 MANAGED LANES PROJECT

SB 1 - LOCAL STREETS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE FUNDING

Currently there is no carpool or express lane on US 101in San Mateo County north of Whipple Avenue, forcingbuses and carpoolers to share lanes with solo drivers.As envisioned, a managed lane would help easecongestion by creating an incentive to use transit orcarpool without removing any existing travel lanes. Approximately $235 million in SB 1 funding has beenawarded to San Mateo County to address congestionalong the US 101 corridor.  These funds, together withadditional local, regional, and private funding willallow construction of a managed lane in bothdirections on US 101 and creation of a pilot expressbus service program, which will work together toincentivize carpooling and transit use on US 101 in SanMateo County.  For more information on this projectsee: http://www.dot.ca.gov/d4/101managedlanes/
