Transitways are defined as exclusive, physically separated, access controlled high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) priority treatment facilities which are typically located within existing freeway right(s)-of-way. Transitways are sometimes referred to as busways, HOV lanes or AVLs (authorized vehicle lanes). This report was prepared for the Texas State Dep
