SIXTH NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGH-OCCUPANCY VEHICLE SYSTEMS, OCTOBER 25-28, 1992, OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA: ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION - HOV FACILITIES: MOVING INTO THE 21ST CENTURY
The conference included a round table discussion on HOV facilities. The following briefly summarizes the comments of each discusser: Mr. Bonsall provided a series of observations related to the current status and future potential for rapid transit, and noted that his perspective is based largely on the experience of developing the Ottawa-Carleton busway system over the last 20 years. Mr. Roberts provided his thoughts on the use of IVHS technologies with HOV facilities and transit services. He also discussed some of the institutional issues associated with the development of IVHS. Mr. Rothenberg provided his thoughts on the future of HOV facilities moving toward the 21st century. He provided a brief historical perspective on the development of HOV projects and the current status of commuting as the basis for examining future directions. Mr. Lindley suggested that the projected 1,000 miles of HOV facilities by the year 2000 provided a good starting point for discussing the future vision for HOV facilities. He focused on the activities needed to help ensure that this vision is realized. Mr. Pierce provided some ideas on the future of HOV projects from an enforcement perspective. His comments focussed on the role of the Washington State Patrol in the operation of the HOV facilities in the Seattle area and enforcement activities in general. Mr. Stacey provided his thoughts on the future of HOV facilities based on his experience with the development of the Ottawa Transitway system. Mr. Gonseth provided an overview of the recent activities of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) related to HOV projects.
