Successful priority bus lane treatments result in reduced travel time, improved schedule reliability, and increased ridership for buses. New York City has implemented twenty-two bus lanes in the past decade throughout the five boroughs. Some of these have been very successful, however, excessive violations can degrade the efficiency of operation. The most common strategy is to put an enforcement agent right in the middle of the action, which is expensive. This study examined a series of techniques to attain low violation rates with fewer agents.
