Express Lanes

The California HOV/Express Lane Business Plan is a framework for Caltrans and its partners to focus statewide activity during 2009-2011 that will lead the state to easily implement more flexible and effective system management strategies for HOV and Express Lane, also known as High Occupancy Tolling (HOT) or Managed Lane. The ultimate vision is a transportation system offering new commute choices and more reliable travel through congested corridors; where congestion is managed and the availability of an express service option is greatly improved, and where governments at all levels work together to manage demand with effective monitoring and adjustment of operations and design. In this Business Plan, Caltrans, regional transportation agencies, FHWA and the CHP, have developed a coordinated framework to guide the current and future development and operation of HOV and Express Lane throughout the state, capitalizing on strong partnerships and operating strategies already in place.The locations of the HOV/Express lanes are based on postmiles derived from an excel spreadsheet maintained by Caltrans, Division of Traffic Operations, Office of Traffic Management.Express Lanes Page《加州高载客量车道（High Occupancy Vehicle, HOV）与快速车道商业计划书》是加州运输部（Caltrans）及其合作伙伴在2009至2011年间统筹全州相关工作的核心框架，旨在助力加州高效落地更具灵活性与实效性的高载客量车道及快速车道系统管理策略——此类车道亦被称为高载客量收费车道（High Occupancy Tolling, HOT）或管理型车道（Managed Lane）。本计划的终极愿景是打造一套先进交通系统，在拥堵走廊中为通勤者提供全新出行选择，并实现更可靠的出行体验；在此系统中，拥堵得到精准管控，快速通行服务的可及性大幅提升，且各级政府协同联动，通过对运营与设计的高效监测与动态调整，有效管控出行需求。在本商业计划书中，加州运输部（Caltrans）、各区域交通机构、美国联邦公路管理局（FHWA）及加州公路巡警（CHP）依托已建立的紧密合作关系与成熟运营策略，共同制定了一套协同框架，用以指导全州范围内高载客量车道与快速车道的当前及未来发展与运营。本计划中高载客量车道与快速车道的选址依据，源自加州运输部交通运营部交通管理办公室维护的Excel表格中的公路里程桩号数据。快速车道专页
