This report presents evaluation summaries of 27 priority treatment projects for high occupancy vehicles (HOV's). The projects evaluated consist of contraflow; concurrent flow and physically separated HOV lane treatments on both grade separated and surface street facilities. In addition, priority HOV ramps, bus signal preemption, priority HOV parking facilities and toll pricing strategies are covered. The evaluations include project descriptions, locations and characteristics plus presentations of key project impacts. Summary tables and discussions compare these findings with updated characteristics and impacts of 14 additional projects evaluated in an earlier study document, Priority Treatment for High Occupancy Vehicles: Project Status Report (March 1977). A detailed bibliography is cross-referenced to each project. These results provide a base from which to evaluate ongoing and future HOV priority treatments.
