HIGH-OCCUPANCY LANES SHIFT INTO HIGH GEAR

For nearly 2 decades, the Texas Department of Transportation has performed ongoing evaluation and monitoring of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in operation in Dallas and Houston. A new report, "The ABCs of HOVs: The Texas Experience," pulls together findings gathered from experience with the state's HOV lanes and puts them in an easy-to-read publication intended for use in any community planning HOV facilities. In the Austin area, where an extensive planning effort is underway to develop a regional HOV system, a public education team is using the report in combination with a brochure and computer presentation designed to convey information specific to the Austin region.
