This report is a summary of the first year of a three-year study that will permit a comprehensive assessment of the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes currently operating the Dallas area. Since various types of HOV lanes are being phased into operation in the Dallas region, several design and operational issues have yet to be resolved and area officials are inquiring about the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) policy on many of these issues. HOV lanes have shown to be very successful in Texas. However, HOV lanes have been met with skepticism in several areas across the country. HOV lanes in two corridors in New Jersey (IH-287 and IH-80) were recently closed as a result of public criticism. In the wake of the actions of New Jersey, legislation has been introduced in California to limit the implementation of new HOV lanes and to potentially remove existing HOV lanes. Inappropriate data, such as vehicle volumes, are used as a basis for removing the facilities. While some of the claims against HOV lanes may be justified, a need exists to evaluate new HOV lanes implemented in the Dallas area as well as to continue an evaluation of existing HOV lanes and report accurate and detailed operational data.
