Abstract:As stated by Secretary LaHood, livability is investing resources in a way that recognizes the unique character of each community. The next three case studies are urban examples of highways role in support of livable communities. In San Francisco, officials are working to provide an interconnected network of express bus and HOV lanes, taking full advantage of their freeway system. This includes converting a traffic lane in each direction on the Bay Bridge for this purpose. A converted lane on the Bay Bridge will have enormous benefits for ridesharing, which already represents 13% of commuters into the San Francisco area. A dedicated rapid bus system will also reduce traffic on San Francisco's streets.
