Project Overview
The I-710 Corridor is a vital transportation artery, linking the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to the Los Angeles region and beyond. It is an essential component in the regional, statewide and national transportation system as it serves both goods movement and passenger needs. Over the years, the I-710, Long Beach Freeway, has been overwhelmed with an increase in truck traffic and population growth; By the year 2020, it is expected that demand will exceed capacity on the I-710.

Facilitated by the Governor's Traffic Congestion Relief Plan, Caltrans, Gateway Cities Council of Governments, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) have undertaken a two-year Major Corridor Study of the I-710, Long Beach Freeway, to analyze traffic congestion and other mobility problems in this Corridor and to develop multi-modal, timely, cost-effective transportation solutions from the Ports to State Route 60. The Study Corridor of approximately 18 miles, encompasses the following cities:

I-710 Major Corridor Study Governance

The study is governed by an Oversight Policy Committee consisting of one city council member from each of the cities, a Commissioner from each of the ports, a Los Angeles County Supervisor and representatives of the MTA, Caltrans and SCAG.

The Oversight Policy Committee (OPC) is advised by two bodies, a Technical Advisory Committee and a Community Advisory Committee.

The Technical Advisory Committee consists of staff members from each of the cities, the county, the two ports, MTA, Caltrans and SCAG (these are the same groups represented on the OPC) plus staff from the California Highway Patrol, Federal Highway Administration and South Coast Air Quality Management District and a non-voting member from the Automobile Club.

The Community Advisory Committee consists of 17 community representatives, 15 stakeholders appointed by the OPC, one stakeholder appointed by those 32 members and the Chairperson of the TAC. Click here to see the list of members in Adobe™ pdf format.
