Managed Lanes provide an effective strategy in balancing travel supply and demand while combating congestion and offering mobility options to our travelers. One form of managed lanes is High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes which are reserved for buses and designated High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV) while the unused capacity is sold off to other vehicles based on an adopted toll pricing structure. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of HOT lane projects throughout the U.S.; discuss the key issues in successfully implementing them; address the specific issues associated with growing managed lane projects into system networks; and improving the reliability of transportation planning models to support the development of managed lane system networks.
