Managed lanes provide transportation agencies with a strategy for reducing congestion and improving travel times along urban highways. These designated lanes, known as E-ZPass lanes in Minnesota, are available to carpoolers and transit users for free during high-traffic times, while vehicle owners who are driving alone pay a fee.
