● Coordination with travel patterns that encourage ridesharing
Significant volume of peak-period trips (e.g., more than 6000 home-based work
trips during the peak hour) on the freeway should be destined to major activity
centers or employment areas in or along the freeway corridor.
At least 65 to 75 percent of peak-period freeway trips to major activity centers
should be 5 mi (8 km) or more in length.
Resulting ride-share demand should be sufficient to generate HOV volumes that
are high enough to make the facility appear to be adequately utilized; volumes may
vary by type and location of facility.
