Abstract:The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), a part of The Texas A&M University
System, is conducting an assessment of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) projects
located either on freeways or in separate rights-of-way in North America. The
three-year research study is being funded by the Urban Mass Transportation
Administration through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The
research study includes an overall assessment of the status of HOV projects on
freeways and in separate rights-of-way in North America, an examination of
procedures for conducting before-and-after evaluations of HOV facilities, and
detailed examinations of specific case study HOV projects.
One of the major elements of this assessment is the detailed examination of
selected HOV facilities in six case study sites. High-occupany vehicle
facilities in Houston, Texas; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; Orange County,
California; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Seattle, Washington; and Washington, D.C./
northern Virginia represent the selected case study sites. An intent of the
case study analysis is to provide an examination of the history, institutional
arrangements, operating characteristics, utilization rates, and impact of
selected HOV projects in different parts of the country.
This report contains the analysis of the history and institutional arrangements
associated with HOV projects in the six case study sites. The report provides
a summary of the elements common to the different projects, and a detailed
description of the background and institutional arrangements of each case study.
