Abstract:This report is the fourth research document prepared in the study of land use and transportation impacts under Project 9-10-85-1085 (between the State and Barry Goodman Associates) and Project 2-10-85-1086 (between the State and the Texas Transportation Institute). The details of the data collection and analysis conform to the basic procedures used in other impact studies and to the study's work program (Technical Report 1086-2). This five-year research effort examines transportation and land use impacts resulting from implementation of an extensive priority system of busways and park-and-ride facilities in Houston, Texas. Over the duration of this research, three high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes with supporting park-and-ride facilities will be placed in operation in Houston's north (I-45N), west (I-10W) and southeast (I-45S) freeway corridors. The results of a preliminary pilot test of the study method proposed to identify the land use and transportation impacts resulting from the HOV treatments within the north corridor (I-45N) are presented in this research report. Any definitive assessment of impacts, particularly land use impacts, will not be operational and established as integral elements in the corridor's transportation system. Preliminary results suggest that while the HOV priority treatments implemented in the corridor have produced substantial, positive transportation impacts, the land use impacts appear to be relatively insignificant at this time.
