The US Context for Highway Congestion Pricing

Abstract

This chapter analyzes the spatial impacts of various freeway pricing scenarios including the conversion of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes. Spatial allocations occur via a congestible highway network of almost 90,000 links, including almost 5,000 freeway links. Converting HOV to HOT lanes and redirecting current planning away from more HOV lane development (as well as from conventional transit planning) towards their plan is the way to go in light of what is known of U.S. settlement and travel trends. Dispersed origins and destination are unlikely to be well served by conventional transit or by carpooling. And the increasing tendency to combine work trips with non-work trips reflects this and also favors the HOT-lanes policy.
