5 PERATIONS & DESIGN Lane Separation Access Treatments Hours of Operation May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

6 Separation and Access Treatments Initial managed lanes were physically separated with direct access provided SR-91 I-25 I-15 I-10 6/5/2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

7 Separation and Access Treatments Today, they are more integrated into the freeway with less physical separation SR-167 I-95 I-85 I-35W 6/5/2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

8 Separation and Access Treatments Utilizing buffer separation with multiple access zones, near continuous access, or continuous access I-35W I-85

10 Hours of Operation Almost all HOT lanes operate fulltime. Exceptions: Late evening / early morning toll-free (I-680, SR-167) Reversible facilities close to change direction (I-15, I-25) Off-peak revert to general-purpose use (I-394, I-35W) I-10 May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

11 Operations & Design: Lessons Learned Design and Operations have evolved from HOV systems to meet the requirements of pricing and active management National trends Extensive planning for buffer separation Limited consideration of barrier separation Incorporation of Active Traffic Management Differing design philosophies on access May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

12 RICING SYSTEMS Occupancy Policies Pricing Methodologies May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

13 Occupancy Policies : Adoption of pre-existing HOV requirements 2009 current: Modify or drop HOV requirements HOV-2+ free at all times HOV-2+ free peak only HOV-3+ with restrictions HOV-3+ discount I-15 (SD) I-10 (TX) I-95 (FL) SR-91* I-394 I-45 I-85 I-635 I-15 (SLC) I-495 I-35E I-25 SR-91* SR 167 I-35W I-680 SR-237 / I-880 May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

14 Occupancy Policies Enforcement Visual enforcement still primary means License plate recognition for tolling Mandatory or switchable transponders Monitoring Registration programs Unrestricted use erodes active management SR-91 May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

15 Pricing Mechanisms Static / flat price Interim on I-15 (San Diego and Salt Lake City), I-10 (Houston) Variable time of day SR-91, I-25, I-10, I-45 South Variable dynamic Most contemporary facilities May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

16 Pricing Mechanisms Collection mechanisms Sticker pass Electronic toll collection License plate tolling Interoperability May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

17 Pricing Systems: Lessons Learned The pricing of managed lanes still largely reflects additive features, with legacy HOV preference policies National trends Abandonment of static / flat monthly pricing Dynamic pricing systems Re-evaluation of HOV-free policies Legitimizing non-account users May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

18 EVENUE SUFFICIENCY Gross Revenue O&M Costs May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

23 More Consistency with O&M Costs (per mile) $300,000 $250,000 $200,000 $247,632 Estimated (2010) Actual (2009) $150,000 $118,417 $100,000 $96,062 $75,119 $84,672 $97,199 $50,000 $ Bay Area Seattle SR 167 OCTA SR 91 Colorado I 25 Miami I 95 San Diego I 15 May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

24 Revenue Sufficiency: Lessons Learned Priced managed lanes generate revenue, but many barely break even against O&M costs and few generate significant funds for capital National trends Successful facilities are on congested corridors Few projects provide SR-91-like revenue New capacity in highly congested corridors generates more gross revenue O&M costs are falling on a per-mile basis May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

25 FINAL THOUGHTS May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,

26 What If We Could Provide more capacity over time without significant new capital? Empower state and local governments to invest in demand management? Right-size our highway system, so as to reduce project costs and other impacts? May 24, 2012 Parsons Brinckerhoff,
