Bus Lane Enforcement (BLE) Program
Keeping LA’s busiest bus lanes clear for faster, safer, and more reliable service.
Metro’s Bus Lane Enforcement (BLE) Program improves service by deterring illegal parking in bus lanes and at stops. Bus-mounted cameras capture violations for review by LADOT, which issues citations. BLE improves trip times, safety, and accessibility—supporting the goals of Metro’s NextGen Bus Plan.
Status Update
Metro’s BLE Program is active on Lines 70, 212, 720, 910, and 950, serving over 61,000 riders daily. In November 2024, Metro launched its Bus Lane Enforcement (BLE) pilot program in partnership with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), starting with a 60-day warning period.
The City of West Hollywood subsequently partnered with Metro and began its warning period on July 1, 2025. By September 2, 2025, the city began issuing citation notices to drivers who illegally park in bus lanes or at bus stops along N. La Brea Av, from Fountain Av to Romaine St, in both directions. The city informed the public about its BLE initiative through the city’s news page at www.weho.org/news, e-notifications, and digital announcements at transit shelters and pedestrian kiosks.
When a parking violation occurs, the camera system captures the incident, forwards it to the city for enforcement review, and issues a citation to the vehicle's registered owner.
