Title: Evaluation of high-occupancy vehicle lanes in Texas, 1993. Interim research report, September 1993-August 1994

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:76341

The report evaluates the operation of freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Texas through calendar year 1993. As of the end of 1993, HOV lanes were in operation of the five following Houston freeways: (1) Katy Freeway (I-10W); (2) North Freeway (I-45N); (3) Northwest Freeway (U.S. 290); (4) Gulf Freeway (I-45S); and (5) Southwest Freeway (U.S. 59S). The only HOV facility in operation in Dallas as of the end of 1993 was on the East R. L. Thornton Freeway (I-30E). The research report provides an analysis of data related to the: (1) operation of the HOV lanes; (2) operation of the freeway mainlanes; (3) combined HOV lane and freeway data; and (4) data relating to transit usage and operations. Both a `before` and `after` trend line analysis (where applicable) and a comparison to control freeways are used as a means of assessing the impacts of the HOV facilities.
