High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are reserved for vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers. These lanes, which often run parallel to general purpose (GP) highway lanes, have been implemented in over 30 U.S. cities since they first appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s. HOV lanes were originally conceived as a means to encourage carpooling and therefore increase person throughput in the transportation system. The restrictions in these lanes limit traffic demand, which can provide travel time savings along a corridor when compared to adjacent general purpose lanes. This travel time advantage is an incentive to drivers to form carpools in order to bypass congestion.
