The history of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities development in California is summarized. The use of HOV facilities in California started in 1970 with HOV bypass lanes at the toll plazas on the Oakland Bay Bridge in the San Francisco area. Milestones include the opening of the El Monte Busway in 1973, the infamous diamond lane on the Santa Monica Freeway in 1976, a resurgence of HOV development between 1985 and 1990, and the adoption of the Urban Freeway concept in 1993. Current projections are that the ultimate California HOV lane system may reach 500 miles. A major effort now is to ensure that the necessary support facilities and services are in place. These include park-and-ride lots, transit services, ridesharing programs, direct connectors, access ramps, enforcement, and other elements.

The preparation of these proceedings was funded in part through grants from the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration, United States Department of Transportation.
