The report provides a summary of a five-year study of the transportation and land use impacts resulting from the implementation of an extensive priority system of busways (transitways) and park-and-ride facilities in Houston, Texas. Over the duration of the study, four high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes with supporting park-and-ride facilities were placed in operation in Houston's North (I-45N), Katy (I-10W), Gulf (I-45S) and Northwest (US 290) freeway corridors. The impacts resulting from three of these HOV treatments, I-45N, I-45S, I-10W, are the object of the study. Preliminary results indicate that while the transportation impacts of those elements of the Houston Transitway system which are operational have been substantial, no substantial land use impacts can be identified at this time. It appears that a more definitive assessment of land use impacts may not be possible until the transitway system is fully operational and more fully integrated into the community's total transportation system.
