The Transportation Policy Board is poised to hear an update on how the I-405 express toll lanes are performing.

The Washington State Department of Transportation reports that in the first eight weeks, south bound toll lane travelers saved about 14 minutes for an average cost of $2.35 and north bound travelers saved about 15 minutes for $2.20.

WSDOT is continuing to monitor and improve the performance of the system.

The board will also hear an update on long-range transit integration work syncing up around the region. All of the region’s transit agencies and ferry operators are currently engaging in long-range planning activities. This work is creating the foundation for an integrated regional transit network and vision to be developed through Transportation 2040.
