A major commitment has been made in the Houston area to develop physically separated transitways in the medians of freeways. The lanes are reserved for high-occupancy vehicles. Phase 1 of the first completed transitway opened on the Katy Freeway (I-10) in October 1984. The research study, funded jointly by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County and the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, was initiated in order to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the effects of permitting carpools to utilize the transitway. The report documents data collected in October 1988, 3.5 years after carpool utilization of the transitway began. The report compares the 1988 data to similar data collected before carpool utilization was permitted (March 1985) and after carpool utilization was permitted (April 1986, October 1987). These comparisons address numerous concerns and provide an indication of the effectiveness of allowing carpools on the transitway.
