Help Support Bus Lane Extensions on Lincoln Blvd.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) seeks public input on extending 3.1 miles of bus lanes during peak hours on Lincoln Blvd. from Venice Blvd. to West Manchester Ave. 

Caltrans is conducting an Extension of Bus Lanes on Lincoln Boulevard Feasibility Study to identify community needs, advance a more efficient and equitable transit network, maximize the use of existing right-of-way, and improve the speed and reliability of transit services.

Santa Monica Spoke supports completing the bus lanes on Lincoln Blvd. As the primary transit service provider in this area, Big Blue Bus also fully supports this project. Expanding bus-only lanes on Lincoln Blvd. will not only reduce travel time for transit riders but will help alleviate traffic pollution and congestion for everyone—motorists, people riding bikes and walking—making our streets safer and our air cleaner.

Share Your Feedback

Attend Caltrans’ Open House
Wednesday, April 16, 2025
5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Oakwood Rec Center,

Take the Caltrans Survey
Those who can’t attend the in-person meeting can take an online survey to provide feedback on proposed alternatives and share their experiences with the area.  All survey comments will be incorporated into the study and project planning process. The survey will be available until Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
