RFID Gate Access system has begun

The new gate access system began Jan. 17, and months of data entry, staff and resident training and RFID distributions led to a mostly smooth launch, according to Security Director Victor Rocha.

That’s saying something, since more than 20,000 vehicles a day pass in and out of LW. With the new system comes heightened security and new tools to ensure only authorized people are able to enter LW.

Drivers who have an RFID pass will now use the RFID ONLY lane; everyone else will use the ALL OTHERS lane at the Main Gate. Guests can now enter LW at all gates. This will alleviate pressure on the Main Gate, which often backs up to Seal Beach Boulevard.
