On May 3, 2002, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Systems (A3A06) hosted a 2002 California HOV Summit in Irvine, California. Building off the success of the first technical summit on HOV lanes held 2 years ago, this year's 2002 California HOV Summit brought together top transportation leaders and elected and appointed officials from around the state to discuss the latest events and research findings surrounding HOV lanes. "HOVs Work" was the principal theme at this year's event. The Summit objectives were to: improve the understanding of HOV planning and operations; provide comprehensive and objective research findings; discuss the top HOV issues brought forth by the public and elected officials; communicate statewide and regional performance measures; discuss future legislative changes that are performance-based; and discuss approaches to maximize HOV lane productivity. More than 125 professionals representing academia, planning, engineering, operations, transit, and private industry, as well as elected and appointed officials from local, regional, and state government, participated at this 1-day Summit. The agenda included panel presentations from top transportation executives from both northern and southern California, a lively roundtable discussion that invited perspectives on HOVs from political leaders, private industry, and the media, and afternoon breakout groups.
