Assessment of carpool utilization of the Katy high-occupancy vehicle lane and the characteristics of Houston's HOV lane users and nonusers. Final research report, Sep 84-Aug 91
The report documents data collected in the Katy Freeway corridor in October 1990, 66 months or 5.5 years after carpool utilization of the Katy HOV Lane began. The 1990 data are compared to similar data collected before carpool utilization was permitted (March 1985) and after carpool utilization was permitted (April 1986, October 1987, October 1988 and October 1989). These comparisons address numerous concerns and provide an indication of the effectiveness of allowing carpools onto the Katy HOV Lane. Also included in the report are summaries of survey data collected along the Katy, North, Northwest and Gulf Freeway/HOV Lane corridors from April 1985 through October 1990. The primary intent of these surveys was to: (1) determine perceptions of HOV lane utilization; (2) identify why commuters have chosen their present travel mode; and (3) assess attitudes and impacts pertaining to the HOV lanes. Demographic data and data concerning general travel characteristics were also collected.
