Update on Downtown Traffic Signal Timing Adjustments

METRO is pleased to announce that the Red Line rail service has been restored, providing customers with the level of reliable service they experienced before the signal adjustments began in September. This reflects the collaboration of METRO’s engineers, operators, and staff who continue to fine-tune the system and enhance service reliability.

“These adjustments are part of our broader effort to improve mobility for everyone who share the roads,” said METRO Board Chair Elizabeth Gonzalez Brock. “Our transportation network is designed for multi-modal use, and finding the right balance takes careful testing, coordination, and ongoing adjustment.”

While the process presented some temporary challenges initially, it was a critical step in understanding and improving traffic flow and transit reliability. METRO will continue to measure performance and make data-driven adjustments as needed, to support its goal of better on time performance across the system and efficient use of its resources.

METRO sincerely thanks its customers for their patience and understanding as these improvements are implemented. METRO’s system is now performing at a higher level of efficiency, supporting better coordination across all travel modes. METRO encourages feedback from riders to help identify areas where service can continue to improve.
