Advanced Technology – Design and installation of advanced technologies and road features <br />allowing rapid transit to operate quickly and efficiently, and help to mitigate delay in dwell times, <br />boardings, and travel times. Some of the advanced technologies and road features that LAVTA is <br />considering for Phase 2 are: transit signal priority, enhanced stations, queue jumps, <br />environmentally friendly coaches and advanced onboard technology, advanced fare collection <br />systems, level boarding, dedicated travel lanes, and better integrated park and ride facilities and <br />transit centers.
