Accession Number: 00642436
Record Type: Component
Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) diamond lane operations on the Dulles Toll Road in Fairfax County, Virginia, were stopped after one month of controversial operation in 1992. The decision to halt operation of the HOV lanes, at least temporarily, occurred during two congressional races and involved thousands of angry, petitioning commuters bogged down in Level of Service F conditions during most of the 2.5-hour morning peak period. This article discusses the similarities of this experience to the Santa Monica Freeway experience in 1976, then examines the Dulles Toll Road HOV experience in detail. Background information on the Dulles corridor is provided, followed by a discussion of the actions leading to the opening of the Dulles Toll Road HOV lane. The decision to stop HOV operations on the Dulles Toll Road is examined and alternatives for possible future HOV operations are discussed. The article concludes with a list of the lessons learned from the Dulles HOV experience.
