This report evaluates the operation of the Houston freeway transitway system through calendar year 1989. As of the end of 1989, transitways were in operation on the following four Houston freeways: Katy Freeway (I-10); North Freeway (I-54); Northwest Freeway (US 290); and Gulf Freeway (I-45). Prior to 1988, individual research reports had been prepared on an annual basis for both the Katy and North Freeway transitways, which were the only transitways operating at that time. Beginning in 1988, an annual report has been prepared summarizing operations on all of the transitways. This research report provides an analysis of trend data related to: (1 operation of the transitway; 2) operation of the freeway mainlanes; 3) combined transitway and freeway data; and 4) data relating to transit usage and operations. Both a "before" and "after" trend line analyses and a comparison to control freeways not having transitways are used as a means of evaluating the effectiveness of the transitway facilities. As of the end of 1989, 36.6 miles of barrier-separated transitway were in operation. On a daily basis, nearly 45,000 person trips were served on the transitways; approximately 45% of those trips were served in buses, with the remaining 55% being served in carpools and vanpools.
"The third edition Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook provides comprehensive information on travel demand effects of alternative urban transportation policies, operating approaches and systems, and built environment options, by building upon, expanding, and selectively replacing the earlier editions to provide a contemporary assessment of the experience and insights gained from the application and analysis of various system changes and alternatives. The focus is on aiding transportation, transit, and land use planners in their conduct of travel demand and related analyses, and to inform elected officials, administrators, operators, designers, and the general public as well. The Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook consists of the Chapter 1 introductory materials and 15 stand-alone published topic area chapters. Each topic area chapter provides traveler response findings including supportive information and interpretation, and also includes case studies and a bibliography consisting of the references utilized as sources. Please note that Chapters 4, 7, and 8 have been deferred for a future TCRP project effort. The Handbook findings derive primarily from reported results and analyses of real-world transportation system and policy applications and trials. Experimental or quasi-experimental empirical data have been the information source of choice. Other empirical data derivations and simple accounts of outcomes have been employed as necessary. Forecasts and other estimates derived from travel demand model applications and similar techniques have been used, but on a very selective basis; mostly for augmenting the empirical data where gaps exist, and for providing additional insights and context. TCRP Report 95: Traveler Response to Transportation System Changes Handbook will be of interest to transit, transportation, and land use planning practitioners; transportation engineers; land developers, employers, and school administrators; researchers and educators; and professionals across a broad spectrum of transportation and planning; metropolitan planning organizations; and local, state, and federal government agencies."--taken from publisher web site.
