1 Managed Lanes 2017: What They Are and How They Work Robert W. Poole, Jr. Director of Transportation Policy Reason Foundation

2 What are Managed Lanes? Lanes restricted by price or vehicle type. HOV lane: only qualified HOVs HOT Lane: HOVs and paying vehicles Express Toll Lane: all (or nearly all) pay Today, over 1,500 lane-miles in operation. Priced MLs in use or planned in 17 metro areas.

3 Priced ML Projects, 2017

4 Speed (mph) Pricing enables uncongested traffic flow HCM Curve SR 91 Curve (WSA ) Unstable Flow Vehicles (PCE) Per Hour Per Lane 4

5 Problems with non-paying vehicles Maintaining uncongested flow depends on effective pricing. Large majority must be priced. Still no proven way to enforce HOV occupancy. High person throughput via vanpools, buses as alternative to HOVs going free. Recent trend of no HOVs free: MoPac, I-595, I-95 MD, I-4 Orlando, SF-Oakland Bay Bridge

6 National trend is ML networks Metro Area Under Way Planned Atlanta Dallas/Ft. Worth Denver Houston Jacksonville Los Angeles Miami Minneapolis/St. Paul Orlando San Diego San Francisco Seattle Tampa Washington, DC

7 What do ML networks need? Consistent user experience (access, occupancy, pricing, signage) Seamless connectors Revenue maximization (to build out the network, including connectors) MLs also on toll roads, if congested

8 Synergy of Managed Lanes and express bus service Market-priced lane is virtual equivalent of an exclusive fixed guideway. Pricing limits vehicle flow to what s compatible with LOS C conditions. Reliable high speed is sustainable long-term, thanks to pricing. Lanes should include bus-friendly features.

9 Main Lanes Managed Lanes Direct Access Road to Arterial Direct Transit Access Ramps BRT Station

10 Typical ML concerns Less throughput than general lanes Lexus Lanes Unaffordable tolls No room to add lanes

11 I-95 Miami throughput comparison Southbound AM Peak Northbound PM Peak EL GP Total With Express Lanes Without Exp. Lanes EL GP Total With Express Lanes Without Exp. Lanes Source: FDOT / Kimley-Horn; Cambridge Systematics 11

12 Speed (mph) Pricing enables uncongested traffic flow HCM Curve SR 91 Curve (WSA ) Unstable Flow Vehicles (PCE) Per Hour Per Lane 12

13 These are not Lexus Lanes

14 Unaffordable tolls Opponents use highest peak toll, full length of facility, twice a day, 5 days a week. The 90/10 rule: 90% of ML customers use it about 10% of the time. Better measure is average toll for all customers (SR , $2.93) Better to have a fast, reliable alternative to congestion than NO alternative. Express bus on MLs is a new alternative.

15 What if there is little or no room to widen the corridor? Innovations in use today: Elevated express toll lanes--tampa Depressed express toll lanes-- Dallas

16 Tampa Express Toll Lanes Reversible, cashless toll lanes Elevated: 6 lanes on 6 feet Uncongested guideway for express bus service, also

17

18 Are P3s a good fit for ML projects? Project costs & competition Risk transfer Traffic & revenue risk Constraints on state DOT funding Upsides for state DOTs Best of both worlds

19 Risk transfer, a major benefit Construction cost overruns Late completion O & M Traffic & revenue uniquely risky in ML projects

20 Fitch Ratings on T&R risk in MLs Ramp-up may be faster than traditional toll roads. Volatility is much higher: -10% in traffic may mean -30% in revenue. Debt service reserves must be higher, for same bond rating (e.g., BBB). Long-term revenue growth likely greater than traditional toll roads.

21 Other financing considerations State bonds may be subject to volume cap or constitutional debt limits. Opportunity cost of using state funds for this, versus other unmet needs.

22 Upsides for in-house procurement Capturing 100% of long-term revenue growth Possibly avoiding non-compete or compensation clauses Ability to do system financing of ML network

23 Potential best of both worlds P3 with significant revenue-sharing: Ensures all P3 risk-transfer benefits for state. Preserves state bonding for other needs Avoids the risks of early years volatility Likely longer-term revenue stream from revenue sharing.

24 Conclusions Priced MLs are a national trend. Pricing works well, if nearly all vehicles are priced. Networks offer benefits, but need consistent policies. ML network offers free guideway for region-wide express bus service. P3s offer advantages for ML projects.
