Abstract

This paper presents a policy-level financial evaluation of options to mitigate congestion on metropolitan freeways where expanding capacity is difficult due to cost or environmental constraints. The options involve converting general-purpose lanes to priced High-Occupancy/Toll (HOT) lanes in combination with incentivized ridesharing. We estimate the financial impacts on a hypothetical 6-lane freeway (i.e., with 3 lanes per direction). The results of the analysis suggest that the options can generate sufficient revenue to support operations and may also generate surplus revenues to fund capital costs.

将现有通用车道改造为高占用/收费车道:探索性评价

本文对缓解大都市高速公路拥堵的方案进行了政策层面的财务评估，因为成本或环境限制，难以扩大容量。这些方案包括将通用车道转换为收费高占用率/收费（HOT）车道，并结合激励拼车。我们估计了对假设的6车道高速公路（即每个方向有3车道）的财务影响。分析结果表明，这些方案可以产生足够的收入来支持运营，也可能产生盈余收入来支付资本成本。
