The purpose of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness of converting a general purpose traffic lane to an HOV lane on Interstate 90 between Issaquah and Bellevue Way. The research effort included consideration of vehicle occupancies, travel time, safety, and public support. A successful lane conversion would demonstrate the potential to save the cost of constructing new highway lanes when existing highway lanes were available for conversion. From a public opinion standpoint, the I-90 lane conversion in the Seattle area can be classified as a qualified success. While a slight majority of commuters oppose the conversion, public opinion for and against is surprisingly close. It appears that with effective marketing and careful implementation, lane conversions can be successfully undertaken.
