User:Timsabin/List of HOT and ETL lanes in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of current and future High Occupancy/Toll lanes, express toll lanes, and hybrid systems in the United States.

Abbreviations used on this page: SOV (Single-occupancy vehicle); HOV (High-occupancy vehicle); HOT (High occupancy/toll); ETL (Express toll lane). On this page, the word hybrid is used to indicate systems that are part HOT and part ETL.

Current HOT lanes

[edit]

The following roads currently use HOT lanes:

California

[edit]

Colorado

[edit]
  • Interstate 25 between 20th Street in Downtown Denver and the US-36 interchange. SOV toll ($0.50-$3.50); HOV-2+, motorcycles, buses free. [2]

Florida

[edit]
  • Interstate 95 So far, only Phase 1 (northbound and southbound, between I-195 and the Golden Glades interchange) has been opened. Motorcycles, registered HOV-3, hybrid, vanpool, and buses ride free.)[3]

Minnesota

[edit]

Utah

[edit]
  • Interstate 15 between 600 N in Salt Lake City, Utah and University Parkway in Orem, Utah. SOV toll ($50/mo.); HOV-2+/clean-fuel free. This is not truly a HOT or ETL project, as it operates by selling permits instead of collecting a toll. There is a maximum of 2,000 permits that will be sold. [6]

Washington

[edit]
  • SR 167, HOT Lanes opened July, 2008, Auburn to Renton. SOV use of HOV toll lane ($0.50-$9.00); HOV-2+ and motorcycles free. [7]

Future HOT lanes (including studies underway)

[edit]

California

[edit]

San Francisco Bay area

[edit]

The Bay area is planning an entire network of HOT lanes.[8]

Riverside county

[edit]

Riverside county is recognized by the California Transportation Commission(CATC) as having a traffic congestion problem second only to Los Angeles. [13]

Los Angeles county

[edit]

Los Angeles county has a plan in place that has been approved by the California legislature. [14] They have received a grant for $213.6 million from the USDOT(US Department of Transportation). This plan will be implemented in two phases, although it is currently unknown when those phases will take place. [15]

Both phases are for the conversion of HOV lanes to HOT lanes.

San Diego county

[edit]
  • Interstate 15 Extension of already-existing HOT lanes. "Stage 3": From SR 163 to SR 56(Ted Williams Pkwy) (under construction). "Middle Stage A&B": from SR 56 to W. Bernardo Dr. (under construction; partially complete). "Stage North": From W. Bernardo Dr. to SR 78 in Escondido. [16]

Florida

[edit]
  • Interstate 95 will be done in phases. Phase 1A was opened 12/2008. Phase 1B is expected to launch in 2009 on southbound lanes between the Golden Glades Interchange and I-395, and on northbound lanes between I-395 and I-195. Phase 2, from the Golden Glades Interchange to I-595 in Broward, is expected to launch in 2010. [3]

Georgia

[edit]
  • Conversion of the existing HOV lanes to HOT lanes on Interstate 85 has been approved to relieve the congestion in the DeKalb County portion of the Northeast Atlanta region. This would be done from Chamblee-Tucker road south of the I-285 junction to Old Peachtree Road in Gwinnett County. HOT lanes on I-85 are expected to be in service by 2011.[17]

Illinois

[edit]

Minnesota

[edit]
  • Interstate 35W Segment 3: From SR 65/I-94 split to 42nd St. This will be a Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lane (PDSL) (a type of HOT lane). Scheduled to open 9/2009. Segment 2: From 42nd St. to 66th St. This is an HOV to HOT conversion project. Scheduled to open 2010. Segment 1: From 66th St. to Burnsville Parkway (see Burnsville, Minnesota). This is an HOV to HOT conversion project. Scheduled to open 2011. [20]

New York/New Jersey Port Authority

[edit]

North Carolina

[edit]
  • Interstate 77 Charlotte, from I-85 to SH 2158 (Griffith Street) at Davidson, Mecklenburg County. Extend existing HOV Lanes, convert HOV Lanes to HOT Lanes and evaluate shoulder use lanes. Under study. [22]

South Carolina

[edit]

All South Carolina projects are under study.

  • Interstate 77 From the intersection with U.S. 21 to the North Carolina state line. This highway portion is very heavily used, and so HOT lanes is one option being studied to relieve congestion. [23]
  • Interstate 26/Interstate 126/Interstate 20 Projections are that traffic on these interstates will double by the year 2030. A corridor taskforce has been in place to study all the possibilities for managing the anticipated traffic growth. All these could accommodate HOT lanes. [23]
    • These are the only segments that would support widening for HOT lanes:
      • A 7.22 mile segment of I-26 from the intersection with I-126 to the intersection with U.S. 321.
      • A 6 mile segment of I-20 east of I-77 to the northeast section of Richland County. No funds are currently available.
    • These segments could not be widened, but are still being considered for HOT lanes:
  • Interstate 385 A 6.45 mile segment of I-385 from east of I-85. This segment could be widened for HOT lanes; however, no construction funds are currently available. [23]

Texas

[edit]
  • Loop 1604 There have been discussions of adding HOT lanes to this road in the future. [24]
  • U.S. 281 There have been discussions of adding HOT lanes to this road in the future. [24]
  • Interstate 10 Extending the I-10 HOT lanes from SH 6 in Harris County to FM 359 in Waller County (under study). [25]
  • Interstate 635 From east of Luna Road to Greenville Avenue (under study). [26]
  • Interstate 35E From south of the Loop 12/I-35E split to south of Valwood Parkway, including the reconstruction of existing facilities, construction of frontage roads and the addition of managed lanes. [26]
  • SH 121/SH 183 (Fort Worth district) Proposed improvements are planned to include three general purpose lanes in each direction with three HOT lanes in each direction for a total of twelve lanes with frontage roads for future traffic volumes. Under study. [27]
  • Interstate 35W From Wautauga Ave. to Meacham St. in Fort Worth. Under study. [28]
  • Interstate 820 From I-35W to SH 121/SH 183. Under study. [29]

Virginia

Current ETL lanes

[edit]

There are no ETL systems in operation in the United States today.

Future ETL lanes (including studies underway)

Current hybrid systems

[edit]

California

[edit]
  • 91 Express Lanes, Orange County, 10 miles. Toll rates are time-based instead of congestion-based. SOV toll ($1.20-$10.00); HOV-3+ 50% discount ($0.60-$5.00). [35][36]
