Vienna/Duluth, December 15, 2023 – On December 1st, Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) opened the I-405 Express Lanes system
designed and built by Kapsch TrafficCom.
The I-405 Express Lanes system marks a historic milestone for OCTA,
heralding the integration of cutting-edge technology and forward-thinking
infrastructure solutions. Spearheaded by Kapsch TrafficCom, this
state-of-the-art system showcases the FasTrak® transponder, providing
commuters with an array of options including HOV3+ and time of day
features. The implementation of the 6C protocol and hardware stands as a
testament to the project’s technological prowess, ensuring seamless
operations and enhanced user experiences.
Embracing a vision that transcends conventional transportation norms, OCTA
took the lead in advocating tolling initiatives in California. JB
Kendrick, President North America at Kapsch TrafficCom, lauded the
collaborative efforts, stating, “Our design team’s ability to surmount
complex challenges and continually refine our solutions to align with the
unique geography of our clients is truly remarkable. We enjoy solving
complex issues and continuing to improve our solutions as we customize
them to fit our customer’s unique geography.”
The I-405, a vital artery in Southern California’s bustling highway
network, accommodates a staggering volume of up to 400,000 daily
commuters. Notably, Kapsch TrafficCom delivered the system and showcased
unparalleled efficiency by completing the project ahead of schedule.
Commencing regular operations on December 1st, OCTA processed nearly
150,000 transactions on the inaugural day, underscoring the system’s
immediate impact on streamlining commuting experiences.
The 405 Express Lanes is one component of OCTA’s overall 16-mile I-405
Improvement Project. With new lanes, bridges, ramps, and enhancements to
surrounding city streets, the voter-approved project supports OCTA’s
mission to deliver a balanced and sustainable transportation network for
all those who live, work and visit Orange County.
