Transportation Management

1. Transportation System Management

Reclassify an existing lane - A change in classification of a lane (i.e. an existing general purpose lane is changed to a special purpose lane).

2. Special Purpose Lanes

High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane - A lane used only by vehicles with high occupancy (typically defined as two or more people).
High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lane - A lane used by non-high occupancy vehicles for a fee. The lane is used free of charge for vehicles with high occupancy (typically defined as two or more people).
Toll Lane - A lane that requires a fee from every vehicle using the facility.
Reversible Lane - A lane that is designated for one direction during part of the day and the other direction during a different part of the day. Reversible lanes are effective when your travel patterns are predominantly in one direction during the morning peak and the other direction during the afternoon peak.
Flex Lane (time of day) - A shoulder is used as a lane during rush hours.
Express Lane- A lane that is designated for through traffic only (ex: Denver Tech Center to Colorado Springs).
