摘要: Construction of the major elements of the I-394 transportation system was completed in fall 1992. This system includes high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) reversible lanes, concurrent HOV lanes, three car pool parking garages in downtown Minneapolis, five transit stations, seven park-and-ride lots, improved transit service, an extensive automated traffic management system, and a number of other HOV-related services, including enforcement and marketing. The Minnesota Department of Transportation began a three-phase evaluation of the I-394 system in 1985, when an interim HOV lane was constructed. The first phase of evaluation addressed the effectiveness of the interim HOV lane before major construction. The second phase looked at HOV use and operation during construction. The third phase has been underway since the facility was completed in late 1992. This evaluation effort includes data collection related to bus ridership, vehicle occupancy, traffic volumes, occupancy compliance, park-and-ride use, garage use, and travel times. The results of the I-394 evaluation will be used to develop incentive programs to encourage further car pooling and bus ridership in the I-394 corridor, to fine tune operational elements of the system to provide safer and more efficient traffic flow, and to provide guidance for the development of other HOV facilities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
