  • RED Lanes Fundamentals Report
    REPORT 1: RED LANES FUNDAMENTALS RED Lanes Study Final Report R1-1 RED Lanes Fundamentals June 2020 RED LANE FUNDAMENTALS A Technical Overview Report on Transit Priority Lane Treatments INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF CONTENTS PURPOSE OF REPORT The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) RED Lanes Study is taking a comprehensive look at transit priority lanes as a potential part of the region’s approach to enhancing its transportation system to meet growing demand, improve transit operations, and diversify modal options for local and regional travel. RED lanes are sometimes referred to as business access and transit (BAT) lanes or transit priority lanes. These facilities are an increasingly common component of transportation planning and transit investment across the U.S. and around the world. They can be a cost-effective solution for improving transit operations and service reliability. This report introduces the key concepts and components of RED lanes, with a focus on typical considerations for planning and implementation. CAMPO defines RED lanes as restricted transit lanes that typically also allow automobile use for: • Right turns, • Emergency vehicles, and • Driveway access. The primary objective of RED lanes is to optimize bus operations in a corridor. This objective aims to maximize transit competitiveness, reliability, and ridership as well as to expand local and regional travel choices through the dedication of right-of-way. RED lanes also aim to minimize disruption to motor vehicle travel by sharing dedicated lanes
