摘要

The 95 Express Lanes in Miami-Dade County have been In operation since December 2008. This paper examines a project involving the conversion of a single high occupancy vehicle lane in both directions to two high occupancy tolls lanes in both directions with dynamic pricing. A portion of the toll revenues is used to fund operations of the 95 Express Bus Service, which is composed of four routes that provide service between Broward County, northern Miami-Dade County, and downtown Miami. The 95 Express Bus Service has benefitted from the HOV to HOT conversion in improved travel times and on-time performance. 1 has attracted a large percentage of choice riders, and ridership has grown despite rising unemployment in Miami-Dade County. On-board transit surveys revealed that the 95 Express Lanes influenced riders' decisions to take transit.
