• Abstract:
  The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation has funded research in the area of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) priority facilities for over a decade. Recently, major transit plans have been developed for the Dallas and Houston areas. Those plans considered, in addition to HOV facilities, various rail technologies. Similar analyses are now being initiated in the Austin area. This report documents data describing alternative mass transit systems. Considered in this document are high-occupancy vehicle facilities, heavy rail transit, light rail transit, and automated guideway transit. Data included address areas such as capital cost, operating cost, ridership, mode split, and transit operating characteristics. The data are intended to provide decisionmakers with information that may be useful in comparing various transit technologies.
