What are Managed Lanes
Managed Lanes are a tool used to ease traffic congestion during peak travel periods. Unlike traditional freeway or tollway lanes, Managed Lanes provide a free-flow of traffic at or above 45 miles per hour 24 hours a day.
How do Managed Lanes work?
Managed Lanes offer reliable travel times for buses and HOV riders while opening up unused lane capacity for solo drivers who are willing to pay a toll for travel time savings. To maintain a traffic flow, toll rates and vehicle occupancy restrictions may vary in response to traffic demand.
Benefits of Managed Lanes
Ride-sharing and transit use with reliable trip times
More travel choices for drivers
Congestion free lanes provide added capacity via tolled lanes
Travel time savings
Improved roadway safety through better travel demand management
