The Highway 101: Carpinteria to Santa Barbara improvements represent a significant part of the overall “lane & train” solution to address traffic congestion by adding new peak-period, carpool lanes and enhancements to improve freeway operations. These upgrades are part of a larger congestion relief strategy that includes peak-hour train service from Oxnard/Ventura to Santa Barbara/Goleta, commute alternatives, bicycle lanes, and improved pedestrian connections.

 

Three segments are under construction and landscaping between Carpinteria and Summerland. Please click on a location below to see details for each area.
