Description:
Utah faces the complex issue of maintaining the capacity and the condition of its transportation infrastructure with limited funding, while travel demand and population continue to increase. Through this study, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is exploring the potential of managed lanes as another tool to alleviate Utah’s current and future traffic demand.
This study addresses the many issues associated with these concepts, both technically and from an institutional perspective as they relate to Utah. For example:
- What are the benefits and costs of managed lanes?
- How much congestion will be reduced, if any?
- What criteria should be used in making decisions about managed lanes strategies?
- Will a project cost more or less with managed lanes strategies?
- Can managed lanes be part of a funding solution?
This study explores managed lanes options in use in the United States and around the world, and documents what works well and under what conditions. Finally, it identifies potential corridors where managed lanes (one or more strategies) are feasible on the state road system. Decisions of whether to implement a managed lanes strategy in a particular corridor will be determined during the normal environmental and project development level processes.
