Public Survey Results!
This summer, Metro shared a public survey with commuters and stakeholders of the I-405 Sepulveda Pass to learn about their travel experience through the corridor.
A big THANK YOU to each of the survey participants that contributed to the 1,591 responsesreceived. We’d also like to congratulate the four, randomly selected winners of the $50 gift cards that were offered as an incentive. The gift card winners self-identified as being from the communities of Culver City, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, and West Los Angeles.
