A Review of HOV Lane Performance and Policy Options in the United States

Mark Chang, John Wiegmann, Andrew Smith, Claudia Bilotto

Open publisher page 25 citations

Abstract

The report provides an assessment of performance of existing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane facilities in the United States, and explores policy alternatives and effects related to conversion of existing HOV lanes to high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane operations. The report includes sketch planning tools for exploring policy alternatives, and is intended for an audience of transportation professionals responsible for planning, designing, funding, operating, enforcing, monitoring, and managing HOV and HOT lanes, and other stakeholders in policy decisions for improving HOV lane and highway mainline operations through conversion to HOT lanes.
