The impacts that would result from providing 'reserved capacity' for trucks rather than restricting trucks are considered in this study. In the extreme case, trucks would be allowed to travel in a dedicated or exclusive lane. A more moderate appraoch would be to provide a 'cooperative' dedicated lane in which vehicles such as trucks and buses could share a common lane and yet be separated from general traffic. Surveys of the general public and subsequent statistical analysis showed considerable resistance to reserved-capacity strategies for trucks. However, this resistance is not unlike that encountered when HOV lanes were first considered. It is the recommendation of this study that the idea of reserved-capacity strategies for trucks continue to be presented to the trucking industry, to the public, and to other impacted agencies for discussion and consideration. The study showed that the adverse impacts of such strategies are easily manageable there is at least potential for freight-productivity improvements.
