Houston has made a major commitment to developing freeway transitways, special lanes designated for the use of high-occupancy vehicles. The lanes are beginning to become operational, and a major effort is being undertaken to evaluate these initial facilities in order to learn from the early experience. The research project is jointly funded by the two operating agencies, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County and the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. A major concern involves which vehicles will be allowed to utilize the transitway. After 2+ carpools were allowed onto the priority facility, demand grew rapidly. Volumes began to approach capacity. In response to this situation, Texas Transportation Institute evaluated alternative approaches for managing vehicular demand on the Katy Transitway.
