While developers plan an extensive system of permanent HOV lanes for the Dallas-Fort Worth urbanized area, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) have pursued and continued to pursue short-term or interim HOV lane projects that would enhance public transportation and overall mobility. There are currently 35.4 miles of interim HOV lanes operational in the Dallas area, including a barrier-separated contraflow lane on East R.L. Thornton Freeway (IH-30) and buffer-separated concurrent flow HOV lanes on Stemmons Freeway (IH-35E North) and Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (IH-635). The objective of this research is to investigate the operational effectiveness of the Dallas area HOV lanes. Issues such as person movement, carpool formation, travel time savings, violation rates, safety, and project cost effectiveness are addressed. By understanding the operational performance and issues of both concurrent flow (buffer-separated) HOV lanes and contraflow (barrier-separated) HOV lanes, recommendations can be made on suggested HOV lane policies, including the types of permanent HOV lanes to be implemented in the Dallas area.
