The '''Harbor Transitway''' (also known as the '''I-110 Express Lanes''') is a {{convert|10.3|mi|adj=on}} shared-use express bus corridor (known as a busway or transitway) and [[High occupancy toll lane|high occupancy toll]] (HOT) lanes running in the [[median (road)|median]] of [[Interstate 110 (California)|Interstate 110 (Harbor Freeway)]] between [[Downtown Los Angeles]] and the [[Harbor Gateway Transit Center]] in [[Gardena, California]]. Buses also make intermediate stops at [[37th Street/USC station|37th Street/USC]], [[Slauson station (J Line)|Slauson]], [[Manchester station (Los Angeles Metro)|Manchester]], [[Harbor Freeway station|Harbor Freeway]], and [[Rosecrans station|Rosecrans]] stations. The facility opened for two-person [[carpool]]s ([[high-occupancy vehicle lane]]s) on June 26, 1996, for buses on August 1, 1996 and was converted to HOT lanes as part of the [[Metro ExpressLanes]] project on November 10, 2012.

The Harbor Transitway is utilized by the [[J Line (Los Angeles Metro)|J Line]], a [[bus rapid transit]] route operated by the [[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]. It is also used by [[Los Angeles Metro Bus]], [[Dodger Stadium Express]], [[GTrans]], [[LADOT Commuter Express]] and [[Torrance Transit]] bus services, most of which only run during weekday peak periods.

South of the Harbor Transitway, the Harbor Freeway also has two stations on the shoulder of the highway, [[Carson station (Los Angeles Metro)|Carson station]] and [[Pacific Coast Highway station (J Line)|Pacific Coast Highway station]] which opened on November 18, 2000.

{{Main|History of Los Angeles Metro Rail and Busway}}
=== Construction ===
[[File:Harbor Fwy Upper Deck2.jpg|thumb|2.6 miles of the Harbor Transitway runs on [[viaduct]]s elevated above regular traffic on the Harbor Freeway.|215x215px]]
The Harbor Transitway project built {{Convert|10.3|mi|km|abbr=}} of new lanes (two in each direction) for buses and two-person [[carpool]]s ([[High-occupancy vehicle lane|high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes]]) between Downtown Los Angeles and a new transit center in [[Gardena, California]]. The most visually striking part of the project were the 2.6 miles of [[viaduct]]s that elevated the transitway directly above the regular freeway traffic.<ref name="dual hub">{{Cite web |date=August 1993 |title=Dual Hub High Occupancy Vehicle Transitway Report |url=http://libraryarchives.metro.net/DPGTL/hov/dual_hub_hov_transitway.pdf |publisher=Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Scheduling and Operations Planning Staff}}</ref>{{rp|2}} The project also included new stations in the median of the transitway at [[37th Street/USC station|37th Street/USC]], [[Slauson station (J Line)|Slauson]], [[Manchester station (Los Angeles Metro)|Manchester]], [[Harbor Freeway station|Harbor Freeway]], and [[Rosecrans station|Rosecrans]] along with the [[Harbor Gateway Transit Center]] (then called the Artesia Transit Center) located southeast of the Harbor Freeway/State Route 91 interchange and connected by a flyover ramp.<ref name="dual hub" />{{rp|3}}

South of State Route 91 to San Pedro, a {{Convert|9.3|mile|km|abbr=|adj=on}} section of the Harbor Freeway was widened from six to eight lanes. On this section of freeway, buses travel in the general-purpose lanes and make stops at new stations on the shoulder at [[Carson station (Los Angeles Metro)|Carson Street]] and [[Pacific Coast Highway station (J Line)|Pacific Coast Highway]].<ref name="dual hub" />{{rp|3}} The project also built the off-highway [[Harbor Beacon Park & Ride]] in San Pedro, originally intended to be a transit center for the city.<ref name="dual hub" />{{rp|10}}

The project to widen the Harbor Freeway and build the Harbor Transitway was planned and constructed concurrently with the new [[Interstate 105 (California)|Interstate 105 (Century Freeway)]], which was highly controversial and the [[California Department of Transportation]] (Caltrans) was required by a [[consent decree]] to include HOV lanes and a transitway, which became the [[C Line (Los Angeles Metro)|C Line]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Weinstein |first=Henry |date=October 15, 1993 |title=A Concrete Accomplishment: Transit: Long-planned Interstate 105 opens with gala festivities.

=== Early operations ===
Even before opening, [[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] (Metro) staff recognized that there was an opportunity to link the operation of the Harbor Transitway to the [[El Monte Busway]], an older but operationally similar facility east of Downtown Los Angeles.

During the planning stages, Metro proposed to Caltrans that the transitway be extended from its terminal at 37th Street north for a more direct connection with Downtown Los Angeles or [[El Monte Busway]].<ref name="dual hub" />{{rp|3}} That request was not implemented, but Caltrans did construct the transitway with stub end to create a provision for a future extension.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Google maps satellite view of stub end of transitway |url=http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Los+Angeles,+CA,+USA&hl=en&ll=34.025352,-118.275687&spn=0.00194,0.002677&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=16.052594,43.857422&t=h&z=19 |publisher=Google Maps}}</ref> In 1998, Metro studied the extension but found it expensive and technically challenging, and to date there have been no further efforts to extend the transitway.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gabbard |first=Dana |date=June 24, 2010 |title=Busway Linkage Obsession Puzzler |language=en-US |work=Streetsblog Los Angeles |url=https://la.streetsblog.org/2010/06/24/busway-linkage-obsession-puzzler/ |access-date=November 25, 2020}}</ref>

In 1993, Metro studied how to operate its buses on the Harbor Transitway best and settled on three proposals: continue to run service as it had before, shift to a [[hub-and-spoke]] system with a trunk route on the Harbor Transitway, or create a "dual hub" system with a trunk route that served both the Harbor Transitway and the older [[El Monte Busway]].<ref name="dual hub" />{{rp|5}} The study took into account that because the Harbor Transitway was a Caltrans project, no additional operating funds were provided to transit agencies in the region to operate over the new facility. Metro staff recommended the dual hub proposal, saying that it would be the most efficient and cost less to run.<ref name="dual hub" />{{rp|6}} Ultimately, the Metro Board of Directors decided to largely continue running bus routes as they had before.<ref name="Radcliffe 1996" /> Because most of the buses traveling on the Harbor Freeway served commuters' needs, service was frequent along the corridors during the weekday peak hours but infrequent during other times.

Ridership on the Harbor Transitway was radically lower than expected: Caltrans had projected that 65,200 passengers would travel along the Harbor Transitway each day, but after 10 years ridership fell far below those predictions, with the route seeing just 3,000 passengers per weekday in 2004.<ref name="Shuit 2000" /> That amount is low compared to the El Monte Busway, which had 32,000 boardings a day in November 2000.<ref name="Shuit 2000" />

=== Conversion to bus rapid transit and high occupancy toll ===
[[File:Slauson & 1-110 Metro Silver Line Station- Picture 6.JPG|thumb|New bollards, security cameras, and digital message signs were added to stations after the start of bus rapid transit as seen here at Slauson station in September 2012.]]
After the very successful launch of the [[G Line (Los Angeles Metro)|Orange Line]], a new busway in the San Fernando Valley, Metro decided to rebrand the county's other busways in an attempt to increase awareness.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Emsden |first=Maya |date=March 16, 2006 |title=Approve color designations for Metro lines and fixed guideways |url=http://media.metro.net/board/Items/2006/03_march/20060316Item13EMAC.pdf |publisher=[[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]}}</ref> In March 2006, Metro decided that the Harbor Transitway would be colored bronze and the El Monte Busway would be colored silver on Metro's maps and the two would be marketed as a "Combined Transitway Service." No changes were made in the operations of the buses routes operated on the lines. The changes were criticized as being difficult to understand for irregular and new riders.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Freemark |first=Yonah |date=December 10, 2009 |title=Los Angeles Integrates Service on Two Busways, with Plans to Implement Congestion Pricing |language=en-US |work=The Transport Politic |url=https://www.thetransportpolitic.com/2009/12/10/los-angeles-integrates-service-on-two-busways-with-plans-to-implement-congestion-pricing/ |access-date=November 25, 2020}}</ref>

Metro returned to its plan for a dual-hub route in 2009, proposing a new bus rapid transit service called the [[J Line (Los Angeles Metro)|Silver Line]] (now J Line) utilizing both the Harbor Transitway and the El Monte Busway. The new higher frequency service would be funded by converting both corridors into [[High occupancy toll lane|high occupancy toll]] (HOT) lanes, to be branded as the [[Metro ExpressLanes]]. The Silver Line began operations on December 13, 2009, with Metro planning to refurbish the aging stations along both corridors over the coming years. The [[electronic toll collection]] equipment for the HOT lanes on the Harbor Transitway went into service on November 10, 2012.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kudler |first=Adrian Glick |date=November 6, 2012 |title=Everything You Need to Know About New 110 and 10 Toll Lanes |language=en |work=Curbed LA |url=https://la.curbed.com/2012/11/6/10310060/everything-you-need-to-know-about-new-110-and-10-toll-lanes |access-date=November 25, 2020}}</ref> The El Monte Busway's HOT lanes opened on February 22, 2013.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pamer |first=Melissa |date=February 22, 2013 |title=Metro ExpressLanes to Open on San Bernardino (10) Freeway |url=https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/metro-express-lanes-to-open-on-san-bernardino-10-freeway/2056152/ |access-date=November 25, 2020 |website=NBC Los Angeles |language=en-US}}</ref>

Stations along the Harbor Transitway were improved between early 2011 and late 2012 with the addition of real-time arrival signs, new wayfinding signage, improved lighting, and soundproofing. The Harbor Gateway Transit Center also received bathrooms and a law enforcement substation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 19, 2012 |title=Metro Silver Line Update Report |url=https://www.metro.net/board/Items/2012/01_January/20120118OPItem64.pdf |publisher=[[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority]] }}{{Dead link|date=July 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

== Tolls ==
{{As of|2025|January}}, the [[high-occupancy toll]] (HOT) lanes are a [[24/7 service]]. Solo drivers are tolled using a [[congestion pricing]] system based on the real-time levels of traffic. Carpools with two or more people and motorcycles are not charged.<ref name="using">{{Cite web |title=Using Metro ExpressLanes |url=https://www.metroexpresslanes.net/how-it-works/using-metro-expresslanes/ |website=www.metroexpresslanes.net |publisher=Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority |access-date=January 12, 2025}}</ref> All tolls are collected using an [[open road tolling]] system, and therefore there are no toll booths to receive cash. Each vehicle using the HOT lanes is required to carry a [[FasTrak]] ''Flex'' transponder with its switch set to indicate the number of the vehicle's occupants (1, 2, or 3+). Those with clean air vehicles need to apply to get a 15 percent discount. Solo drivers may also use the FasTrak standard tag without the switch. Drivers without any FasTrak tag will be assessed a toll violation regardless of whether they qualified for free.<ref name="using" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Clean Air Vehicle Discount |url=https://www.metroexpresslanes.net/offers-discounts/clean-air-vehicle-discount/ |website=www.metroexpresslanes.net |publisher=Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority |access-date=January 12, 2025}}</ref>

The difference between the Harbor Transitway and the [[El Monte Busway]] is that the latter charges two-person carpools the posted toll during peak hours.<ref name="using" />

== Bus services ==
The [[J Line (Los Angeles Metro)|Metro J Line]] bus rapid transit line runs on the Harbor Transitway from [[Harbor Gateway Transit Center]] to [[Downtown Los Angeles]] and continues to [[El Monte station]]. The line operates daily with frequent service. In addition to Metro J Line, other Metro bus and municipal bus routes also operate on the Harbor Transitway. They include [[Los Angeles Metro Bus]] express lines {{LA Metro route|460}} and {{LA Metro route|550}}, the [[Dodger Stadium Express]], the city of Gardena's [[GTrans]] line [[GTrans#1X|1X]], [[LADOT Commuter Express]] routes {{LADOT route|438}}, {{LADOT route|439}} and {{LADOT route|448}}, along with [[Torrance Transit]] route [[Torrance Transit#4X|4X]]. Metro line 550 operates only during weekdays peak hours. Torrance Transit line 4, and Gardena Transit line 1X operate only during weekday peak hours. Metro Express line 460 operates daily along with the Metro Silver Line. Busway bus lines originate from [[Downtown Los Angeles]] and [[El Monte, California|El Monte]], with final destinations in [[Disneyland]], and [[Disney California Adventure Park]] located in [[Anaheim]], [[Knott's Berry Farm]], [[Artesia, California|Artesia]], [[Fullerton, California|Fullerton]], [[Gardena, California|Gardena]], [[Hawthorne, California|Hawthorne]], [[San Pedro, Los Angeles|San Pedro]] and [[Torrance, California|Torrance]].

[[FlyAway (bus)|FlyAway]] buses use the transitway to travel between the [[Los Angeles International Airport]] and [[Union Station (Los Angeles)|Union Station]] but do not serve any of the stations.
