• Abstract:
  This document presents the final report on the national evaluation of the Los Angeles Congestion Reduction Demonstration (LA ; CRD) ExpressLanes Program under the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) CRD Program. The LA CRD ; projects focus on reducing congestion by employing strategies consisting of combinations of Tolling, Transit, Telecommuting/TDM, ; and Technology, also known as the 4Ts. Tolling (pricing) strategies include converting high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on the ; two freeway corridors to variably-priced high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, adding a second HOT lane to portions of one corridor, ; and implementation of a downtown L.A. intelligent parking management system featuring demand-based pricing and real-time ; parking availability information. Transit improvements include increased bus service, transit station security improvements, ; expansion of two transit stations, creation of an El Monte Busway/Union Station connector, and the expansion of downtown L.A. ; transit signal priority. TDM strategies aim to establish 100 new registered vanpools. The national evaluation of the LA CRD ; projects was guided by the National Evaluation Framework, the LA CRD National Evaluation Plan, and individual test plans for ; various components. This report provides information on the use of the new LA CRD projects. Changes in travel speeds, travel ; times, trip-time reliability, and transit ridership are described. The air quality, energy, and safety impacts of the LA CRD projects ; are examined. Information on changes in unemployment rates and gasoline prices is also summarized.
