Federal-Aid Highway Program Guidance on High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes - On August 12, the Office of Transportation Management issued the "Federal-Aid Highway Program Guidance on High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes," which supersedes the previous version published on March 28, 2001. The updated program guidance clarifies some operational issues and explains requirements set forth in the Federal statute. The purpose of this document is to provide information useful to States as they plan, design, operate, and manage HOV facilities. This document also presents examples of how various metropolitan areas have approached the implementation of High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes. For more information, please contact Ms. Jessie Yung at (202) 366-4672 or jessie.yung@dot.gov. - August 13, 2008
