Proponents of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes claim the lanes reduce vehicle-trips by
encouraging more people to carpool, but the evidence is mixed. This article reviews studies …

We examine carpooling and driver responses to fuel price changes. Using a simple
theoretical model, we show that traffic flows in mainline lanes unambiguously decrease …

In California, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on freeways have been implemented with
two different configurations–continuous access HOV lanes, primarily used in Northern …

Research on the impact of land use variables on travel behaviour is reviewed. The focus is
on density as an important measure of land use and its interaction with transportation …

At high densities, land uses get close enough to each other to support walk, bike, and transit
modes above 60% of total trips. The San Francisco Bay Area census was used to define five …

To address some of the uncertainties inherent in large-scale models, two very different
urban models, an advanced travel demand model and an integrated land use and …

Since the 1970s, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes have been a common policy
instrument to mitigate traffic congestion. Yet, their effectiveness remains a controversial topic …

The National Center for Sustainable Transportation's (NCST's) Induced Travel Calculator
(Calculator) has generated substantial interest among policymakers and practitioners as a …

This paper proposes a methodology for evaluating transportation demand management
(TDM) alternatives in the context of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). The proposed …

There are myriad challenges to designing transportation policies that accomplish the dual
goals of efficiency and equity and to evaluating alternative policies in an informative way …
