EVALUATE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLE (HOV) LANES

In May of 2001, 16 miles of High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane opened on the reconstructed I-15. The HOV lanes operate between 600 North and 10600 South in the Salt Lake Valley, a single HOV lane in each direction. The HOV lanes are successful in their operation based on this report's assessment. While successful and anticipated to be increasingly valuable as the congestion in the Salt Lake Valley increases, there are some recommendations to improve the HOV lanes' performance discussed in the findings.
