INTEGRATING HOV TO ENHANCE OPERATIONS OF THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

This paper discusses high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities, their purpose, benefits, design, and use. It stresses that HOV projects increase the number of people, rather than the number of vehicles, being carried on a freeway or roadway. It mentions different types of HOV facilities, including busways, freeway concurrent flow HOV lanes, HOV bypass lanes, and bus only lanes and bus malls on arterial streets.
