ELECTRONIC ROAD PRICING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA : POLICY OBSTACLES TO CONGESTION PRICING

This paper studies the issues of electronic road pricing (ERP), high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, and high occupancy toll lanes (HOT). It has been hypothesized that HOT lanes would not promote ridesharing and related air quality objectives. This paper tests this hypothesis by applying a multinomial logit model to potential travel in one freeway corridor on the Riverside Freeway in Southern California where private, buy-in lanes are under construction. The hypothesis is not supported; free HOV lanes can be converted to HOT lanes using advanced technology to achieve an increase in average vehicle occupancy (AVO).
