Guidelines for an HOV Strategy for the Arterial Street Network in Atlanta, Georgia
Project Description
The Texas Transportation Institute worked with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to identify a number of different treatments that can be used to extend the GDOT Strategic Freeway HOV Plan to arterial streets. Researchers designed and documented a strategic planning process for the arterial street system. When used to complement the freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) system, the arterial HOV treatments can facilitate the movement of buses, vanpools, and carpools through congested areas, provide travel time savings, enhance transit, and improve trip reliability.
