The report contains analysis and findings developed from information gathered by Caltrans during the 21 weeks of operation of the Santa Monica Diamond Lanes. The Diamond Lane project had reserved the fast lanes of a 12.5 mile segment of the Santa Monica Freeway in Los Angeles, from Lincoln Boulevard to the Harbor Freeway for bus and carpool use. Its objective was to conserve energy and improve air quality, and to demonstrate that more efficient use could be made of existing transportation facilities without a massive new investment in freeways. The report analyzes the results of the Santa Monica Diamond Lanes. It identifies the user characteristics of the freeway. It reports on the travel conditions of the freeway. It discusses traffic diversion. It presents the effects of the project on energy, air quality, safety and costs and benefits.
