Under the sponsorship of Texas Department of Transportation, the University of Texas at Arlington conducted a survey of the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway and the Dallas North Tollway users in early 2001. The survey was designed to explore issues related to highway users' attitudes toward managed lanes and price elasticity for managed lanes. This paper analyzes data collected from the survey with a focus on travelers' attitudes towards managed lanes. Analysis of the data reveals that more than half of the survey respondents would use managed lanes. Among respondents who are inclined to use managed lanes, most indicated that they would be likely or somewhat likely to drive alone and pay a toll, but few expressed interest in carpooling in order to use managed lanes for free or at a reduced price. It is also found that there are some differences in attitude towards the use of managed lanes among various user groups. The implications of the findings for pricing policy and planning are discussed.
