Abstract:The California BusPool Project was created to identify potential park & ride (P&R) and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) improvements that would enhance express bus services in the State’s metropolitan areas. The primary objective of the project is the development of a Master Plan and Program of Projects that will identify and help to implement improvements to HOV and P&R facilities (both existing and planned) necessary to increase ridership on the public transit bus routes (both existing and planned) that use those facilities. The goals are to help make transit a more practical travel option, increase trip throughput to reduce congestion, and maximize transportation system efficiency. The geographic focus of the project was limited to California’s six metropolitan areas: Los Angeles, San Diego, Inland Empire, SF Bay Area, Sacramento and the San Joaquin Valley (Fresno/Merced/ Bakersfield). The project focused on identifying improvements linked to freeway- oriented bus transit (including Freeway Express and Bus Rapid Transit) services. Improvements that might increase the use of HOV and P&R facilities by increasing participation in carpools were noted, as well as improvements that might increase the use of any rail-oriented P&R facilities. Step 1 (Research) of the project involved working with regional partners to gather information regarding current P&R lot usage, express bus services and potential areas of improvement. Step 2 (Project Priorities and Plan Development) involved using the information gathered during the research phase to create a Ten-Year Master Plan and Program of Projects.
