Project Overview and Goals

Project Overview
Three Phases of Project
• Phase I – Policy and Action Plan
• Phase II – Procedures and Standards
• Phase III – Tolling and Return on Investment
Project Purpose:
It is the intent of the Department to develop a policy and
related procedures requiring consideration of Managed
Lanes as a part of all added capacity improvement projects
on highways. The planning and development process should
be conducted so as to not preclude the future
implementation of Managed Lanes within the corridor.

“Highway facilities or sets of lanes
within an existing highway facility
where operational strategies are
proactively
implemented
and
managed in response to changing
conditions with a combination of
tools.”

District Discussion
• Purpose – To learn from you
– What are your experiences and
“lessons learned” with managed
lanes?
– What do you want to get out of
this project?
– What do you want us to
evaluate?
– How can we develop a unified
statewide system?
– What can central office do to
help Districts/Turnpike with their
managed lanes projects?
