- Miami UPA Phase 1 Transit Evaluation Report (January 2011) (PDF) -- Evaluation of the Miami Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) Phase 1 improvements on transit. Miami is one of the United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) UPA sites. Phase 1 involved the conversion of a single high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane in both directions to two high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes, employing dynamic pricing, in both directions on Interstate 95 between downtown Miami and Golden Glades Interchange, along with additional 95 Express Bus service, and Travel Demand Management (TDM) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) enhancements. The report discusses the impacts of Phase 1 improvements on transit performance, ridership, mode shift to transit, and congestion mitigation.
- Miami Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) Project Phase 1A (PDF)– Transit Evaluation Report - Evaluation of the transit elements of Phase 1A of the Miami UPA project. Miami is one of the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT)’s Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) program sites. The project involved replacing the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes with ‘95 Express Lanes’ which are based on the High Occupancy Toll (HOT) concept, supported by transit, Travel Demand Management (TDM), and Intelligent Transportation Systems enhancements. Report discusses the impacts of Phase 1A improvements on transit performance, mode shift to transit, and congestion mitigation. Phase 1A was implemented in December 2008 providing new ’95 Express Lanes’ on the northbound direction of I-95 between downtown Miami and Golden Glades Interchange.
