This report summarizes the activities conducted on a variety of topics for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Houston District. The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) conducted the following studies on the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes: field studies on five HOV facilities to measure vehicle occupancies, volumes, and travel times; vehicle counts at twenty-nine park and ride facilities to determine usage rates. TTI developed justification statements for ramp metering, road user cost analyses for U.S. 59, and traffic analyses for the Memorial City area on I-10 Katy Freeway. The project staff developed and conducted specific traffic analyses in the South Main/Texas Medical Center area to measure travel times and origin/destination patterns to address mobility and potential transportation improvements.
