San Fernando Valley Transit Restructuring Study
Summary of Changes

This listing is organized by the original (pre-restructuring) line numbers. The page for each line has a headline which indicates the original routing at the time of the SFVTRS's creation, followed by a paragraph outlining the proposed changes for each line and the status of the SFVTRS proposals. A map from the public hearings, if applicable, is included.

In addition, we have included information on proposals that were part of the May, 1994 public workshops and subsequently modified before the September release of the SFVTRS. These proposals are listed just below the map (or immediately below the SFVTRS proposals, if there was no public hearing map), if proposals were made for that line. (You can also see all of the draft proposals on a single page.)

Alternatives to some proposals were created later, in a 1997 report to the MTA board of directors, during the Metro Red Line Bus/Rail Interface, as part of the consent decree's New Service Program pilot project of 1998, in the 1998 Westside Transit Restructuring Study, during the 2003 service changes, while restructuring service around the Metro Orange Line, and during the process of the Metro Connections program that began in 2006. These are summarized below the maps.

Several shuttles and circulators were also proposed; some were DASH-style routes, others were route-deviation Smart Shuttles replacing low-ridership route tails in the far West and Northeast Valleys.
