The feasibility of setting aside one lane for the exclusive use of bus and car pools on New Jersey Route 3 was performed. The PRIFRE Model, a computer model which determines traffic conditions for normal and priority operations, was calibrated to represent Route 3. Numerous configurations of bus and car pool lanes were identified, and five priority configurations were modeled for eastbound traffic. Three other priority configurations were modeled for eastbound traffic. Three other priority configurations were modeled for westbound traffic. A major criteria in the analysis is the occupancy shifts required in terms of cumulative passenger hours, travel time, vehicle miles traveled, and traffic operations. A benefit-cost analysis was performed including consideration to user and system costs. The report contains a recommendation that the state of New Jersey implement a bus and car pool lane in each direction according to specified criteria.
