The cost effectiveness of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes was analyzed by comparing the costs and benefits of existing HOV lanes with the hypothetical alternatives of doing nothing or adding a lane for general traffic. Three specific sites in the Seattle area were studied. A life cycle costing approach was used. The main result of the study was that for the three locations studied the construction of HOV lanes was the most cost effective alternative.
