Abstract

This guide suggests methods and designs for dedicated facilities to encourage greater use of existing transportation systems, such as increased use of public transit, carpools, vanpools, or other ridesharing modes to attain the goal of moving more people in fewer vehicles. Guidance is given for planning and design of preferential treatment for high occupancy vehicles (HOVs). The guide has been developed to help achieve the following goals of HOV facilities: to provide travel time savings and travel time reliability for HOVs; to maximize the person-moving capacity of roadway facilities by providing improved operating level of service for HOVs; and to conserve fuel, improve air quality, and minimize consumption of other resources needed for transportation.
