Book excerpt: This report attempts to identify some of the key policy level questions that do (or should) arise from the consideration of HOV lanes and to shed light on some of the answers to these questions. The intent of this report is to provide the reader with a nontechnical introduction into the Texas experience with HOV lanes. This summary report is divided into three sections. The first section is a basic introduction to HOV lanes, including what they are, how they work, and typical reasons for considering HOV lanes. Following the initial section is a detailed discussion that sheds some light on the question: "Is this type of improvement the right thing to do?" That discussion describes the findings of the Texas research on some of the key questions that are typically asked when a community is considering an HOV lane. The final section of the report deals with how to know if an operating HOV lane is meeting expectations. It identifies measurable objectives and constraints that will provide important ongoing evaluation and feedback.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to investigate the operational effectiveness of the Dallas area HOV lanes. Issues such as person movement, carpool formation, travel time savings, violation rates, safety, and project cost effectiveness are addressed. By understanding the operational performance and issues of both concurrent flow (buffer-separated) HOV lanes and contraflow (barrier-separated) HOV lanes, recommendations can be made on suggested HOV lane policies, including the type of permanent HOV lanes to be implemented in the Dallas area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report evaluates the operation of freeway high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Texas through calendar year 1996. As of the end of 1996, HOV lanes were in operation on the five following Houston freeways: 1) Katy Freeway (I-10W); 2) North Freeway (I-45N); 3) Northwest Freeway (U.S. 290); 4) Gulf Freeway (I-45S); and 5) Southwest Freeway (U.S. 59S). The only HOV facility in operation in Dallas as of the end of 1994 was on the East R.L. Thornton Freeway (I-30E). This research report provides an analysis of data related to the 1) operation of the HOV lanes; 2) operation of the freeway mainlanes; 3) combined HOV lane and freeway data; and 4) data relating to transit usage and operations. Both a "before" and "after" trendline analysis (where applicable) and a comparison to control freeways are used as a means of assessing the impacts of the HOV facilities
Download or read book Invisible Caregivers written by Daphne Joslin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understudied aspect of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is the creation of hundreds of thousands of grandparent-headed households that have become home to children bereft of one or both of their parents. Such "skip-generation parenting" presents a host of challenges to the families involved and the social programs designed to assist them. Despite this unprecedented caregiving responsibility, older surrogate parents remain relatively invisible, hidden in the shadows of HIV care and the demands of raising a child. The primary goal of Invisible Caregivers is to generate, support, and guide program and policy initiatives designed to meet the needs of elder surrogates and their families. Most social service programs are not able to identify the needs of older surrogates, often because these surrogate parents in HIV-infected families are reluctant to make their needs known for fear of social stigma or possible reductions of benefits. Multiple systemic barriers to case management and other services also frustrate attempts to bring available resources to elder caregivers. These barriers include professional ignorance or denial that HIV affects surrogates, eligibility restrictions through CARE, limited funding and age restriction on OAA, and a fragmented health and human service system. Because the issues facing elder caregivers are many and varied, this collection covers a host of issues: community health, aging, HIV services, child welfare, education, public policy, and mental health.
