I-80 HOV lane evaluation study. Final report, March 1994-March 1996
This report presents the results of the I-80 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane evaluation study. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the I-80 HOV lanes between Route 15 and I-287 in Morris County, New Jersey. Study tasks included review of available traffic count data, data collection and analyses, and air quality benefit quantification. The objectives for the HOV lane are to move more people in HOVs, move more persons per vehicle, reduce travel times for HOV travelers, attain low HOV land violation rates, have minimal negative impact on safety, sustain public support, improve air quality and reduce fuel consumption, enhance bus service, and be cost effective. The data collection program included traffic volumes, vehicle classifications, vehicle occupancies, travel times, accident records, park and ride lot usage, and HOV lane enforcement data and costs.
