This report summarizes the Year 2 activities under Implementation Project 5-4160-01, Managed Lanes

Handbook Training. The overall objective of the project is to develop a 12-hour workshop covering The

Managed Lanes Handbook, and teach the materials at seven locations across the state, including two pilot

workshops. The Managed Lanes Handbook was developed for the Texas Department of Transportation

(TxDOT) to help the staff make informed planning, design, and operational decisions when considering

managed lanes facilities for its jurisdiction. The handbook presents the critical research results obtained over

the five years of the related research project, presented in a usable format, providing a clear, concise, and

step-wise approach to planning, designing, operating, and enforcing a managed lanes facility. It also refers

the user to other pertinent documents that provide additional detailed information on various aspects of

managed lanes. The workshop is designed to facilitate statewide use of the handbook with TxDOT and

partnering agency staff involved in managed lanes project development and design. Year 2 activities

included teaching the workshops, updating of workshop material as appropriate, and preparing the final

deliverables for TxDOT.
