HOV Pooled Fund Study

The goal of the HOV Pooled-Fund Study (HOV PFS) (Study Number TPF-5 (029)) is to assemble regional, State, and local agencies, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to (1) identify HOV-related issues that are common among agencies; (2) suggest projects and initiatives; (3) select and initiate projects intended to address identified issues; (4) disseminate results; and (5) assist in solution deployment.

Transportation Research Board Committees on HOV Systems and on Congestion Pricing

The Transportation Research Board standing committees on HOV Systems is concerned with priority measures for HOVs, including guidelines for planning, designing, operating, and evaluating HOV priority facilities and the development, validation, and dissemination of theoretical, experimental and applied research related to HOV priority facilities. The objectives of the committee include assisting in enhancing the performance, safety, and efficiency of HOV facilities and establishing preferential HOV improvements as an integral element of the urban transportation system.

The TRB Congestion Pricing Committee fosters research to gain a better understanding of the technological, operational, business, administrative, political and institutional aspects of innovative congestion pricing of systems and services for all modes of transportation. Strategies include integrated transit, variable pricing, aviation pricing, parking pricing, parking "cash-out," and other mechanisms that seek to affect transportation demand and use. The Committee seeks to develop a comprehensive understanding of the effects of congestion pricing on the transportation system, addressing passenger and freight mobility, transit and highway interdependence, and interoperability of systems.
