A 140-mile HOV system plan is proposed for the San Diego region. In the development of the plan, both congestion levels and adequate median width were considered. The Regional Transportation Plan includes other policies addressing HOV facilities and supporting services. There is an extensive system of freeway entrance ramp meters in the county. HOV bypass lanes are being implemented at many of these ramps. The park-and-ride lot system is also being expanded and coordinated with the HOV facilities. Recently an HOV lane was opened at the San Ysidro border crossing, which is the largest international border crossing in terms of vehicles and people in the world. There is an HOV lane on the Coronado Toll Bridge. A bypass for buses leaving downtown San Diego is in operation in the Balboa Park area. Located on I-15 is a two-lane, reversible, barrier separated HOV facility. It is managed by an off-site traffic management center. The signs and barriers are operated electronically. The I-15 HOV lanes have been used for research and development activities associated with advanced technology projects. The potential of congestion pricing or HOV "buy in" is being considered for the I-15 HOV facility with the excess revenue being used to support transit services in the corridor.
