Background: Since revenue operations began in August 2024, staff have closely monitored the performance and operations of the Interstate 10 (I-10) Express Lanes and have provided quarterly reports to present data and insights on Express Lanes activity. The attached Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/2026 Third Quarter Report (Q3) summarizes Express Lanes operations for the months of January, February, and March 2026. Key observations from this quarterly report include the following: Total trips declined by 5.65% from Q2 to Q3, largely due to predictable seasonal decreases in traffic during January and February. However, when comparing the same period year-over-year total trips increased from 3.136 million in 2025 to 3.541 million in 2026, demonstrating continued demand and healthy system performance despite seasonal variation. Travel time savings decreased by 19.1% from Q2 to Q3. Although peak-period utilization increased, the speed differential between the Express Lanes and the general-purpose lanes narrowed, resulting in reduced travel time savings. This trend was further influenced by the seasonal dip in overall traffic volumes, which affected congestion patterns across the corridor. California Highway Patrol (CHP) enforcement activity increased significantly between Q2 and Q3, with the number of shifts rising from 53 to 90. This expanded presence resulted in a 72% increase in total violations. The growth reflects improved resource availability for CHP, which has strengthened overall operations and increased focus on identifying HOV3+ violators. Walk-In Center usage increased by 15% from Q2 to Q3, indicating a return to typical post-holiday traffic. The data continues to show that the local customer service center is being well utilized. Staff will continue to provide this report quarterly to support ongoing evaluation of Express Lanes performance and to ensure consistent communication with the Board regarding operational conditions and emerging issues.
