Abstract:

This report surveys the growing use of bus and carpool priority measures to increase the productivity of the nation's transportation infrastructure. While it identifies a wide variety of priority measures, the report principally focuses on the planning and operation of exclusive and shared busways and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities. Chapters 3-10 present detailed case studies describing the implementation of exclusive busways, transitways, and other bus and carpool priority schemes in seven North American metropolitan areas (New York, San Francisco-Oakland, Ottawa-Carleton, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles-Long Beach-Orange County, and Houston). Chapter 2 provides less extensive evaluations of schemes implemented in other areas. Chapters 14 and 15 compare the cost-effectiveness of exclusive busways and bus-HOV facilities with the cost- effectiveness of recently completed light and heavy rail lines. Finally, Chapters 11-13 consider the problems of serving large downtown areas, something that many observers view as the Achilles heel of all-bus systems.
