Overview

The goal of the HOV/MUL Pooled-Fund Study (HOV/MUL PFS) (Study Number TPF-5(029)) is to assemble regional, state, and local agencies, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to (1) identify issues that are common among agencies that manage roadway lanes as a tool to reduce congestion and optimize facility usage; (2) suggest projects and initiatives to advance practice; (3) select and initiate projects intended to address identified issues; (4) identify recommendations and potential solutions, and (5) disseminate results. The purpose of the HOV/MUL PFS is to initiate projects that address planning, design, implementation, management and operation issues associated with HOV and MUL facilities. Projects may involve conducting research projects, operational tests, preparing technical guidance and recommended practices, developing training, or pursuing technology transfer initiatives. Members meet quarterly via teleconference or webconference. Members also meet in-person annually to select new initiatives and projects to pursue.
