Thursday, November 21, 2024 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM (ET) This NICR project addresses the topic of incentivizing carpooling in high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes. The end goal is to increase carpooling to reduce congestion and reward those who are carpooling. Many urbanized areas offer carpools discounted or toll…
Principal Investigator Alberto M. Figueroa-Medina, PhD Final Report (DOI) View Final Report TRID View TRID 2589111 Policy Brief Available soon Abstract A performance assessment and willingness-to-pay (WTP) analysis were conducted of the reversible dynamic toll lanes (DTL) of freeway PR-22 in Puerto Rico. This is the first managed lane facility of its kind in a…

Thursday, September 23, 2021 @ 12:00PM (EDT) About the Webinar: This project will use the open-source platform OneBusAway developed at USF to explore how travelers choose between public transit, transportation network companies (TNC), and other modes (e.g., micro-mobility) and how to influence this behavior. The project will focus on first and last-mile connections and filling…
Thursday, August 12, 2021 @ 12:00PM (EDT) About the Webinar: Two common means of pricing Managed Lanes (MLs) are to vary lane-usage tolls based on time of day, or to vary them dynamically based on real-time congestion measurements. Which of the two tolling options is more effective in regulating ML-usage is unclear. Large datasets on…
Principal Investigator Sara Hendricks Final Report (DOI) View Final Report TRID View TRID #1885418 Policy Brief View Policy Brief Abstract MAP-21’s focus on performance measurement ushered in a shift in emphasis from moving vehicles to moving people, measured as passenger throughput. This recognizes the underutilized capacity of empty seats in buses, vanpools, and single-occupant passenger…
Thursday, March 11 @ 12:15PM About the Webinar: Managed lanes (MLs) offer travelers a congestion-free alternative for a price. The two most common pricing mechanisms are variable tolls (based on time of day) and dynamic pricing (based on congestion). In theory, dynamic tolls should be able to regulate demand for MLs more effectively than variable…
