The results of a 1985 survey of high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) project performance are presented. Despite the lack of the energy crises that spurred HOV-lane promotion during the 1970s, HOV-lane planning has continued to remain active in a number of states. Most currently operational main-line HOV lanes were found to be very effective as people movers during peak commuting hours and to save fuel by removing significant numbers of automobiles from the road through high levels of ridesharing and bus patronage. Bus ridership has managed to compete effectively with carpooling and vanpooling on a number of lanes. Continued traffic growth during the 1980s is strengthening the case for HOV-lane use in many urban corridors.
