The Harbor Transitway is a 10.3-mile (16.6 km) shared-use express bus corridor and high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes running in the median of Interstate 110 between Downtown Los Angeles and the Harbor Gateway Transit Center in Gardena, California. Buses also make intermediate stops at 37th Street/USC, Slauson, Manchester, Harbor Freeway, and Rosecrans stations. The facility opened for two-person carpools on June 26, 1996, for buses on August 1, 1996 and was converted to HOT lanes as part of the Metro ExpressLanes project on November 10, 2012.
Metro J Line runs on the Harbor Transitway with frequent service.
2.6 miles of the Harbor Transitway runs on viaducts elevated above regular traffic on the Harbor Freeway.
New bollards, security cameras, and digital message signs were added to stations after the start of bus rapid transit as seen here at Slauson station in September 2012.
