This study was undertaken to examine the potential for development of a Statewide Rideshare Support Program. This report documents the results of a literature review, telephone surveys with ridesharing agencies in Texas and four other states, and telephone surveys with departments of transportation in fifteen other states. Further, it outlines an initial approach for a Statewide Rideshare Support Program and potential activities to be undertaken to develop this program. Information was obtained from rideshare programs on staffing and budgeting levels, services offered, ridematching databases, marketing efforts, and locals levels of interest in ridesharing. State departments of transportation were surveyed for information on types of support offered to ridesharing programs, staffing and budgeting, measures of effectiveness, and perceptions of ridesharing at the state level. The report includes suggestions for actions by the Texas Department of Transportation to facilitate support for ridesharing programs in the state.

This study examines strategies employed to encourage and enhance transit use in Texas and throughout the country. Two reports document the results of this research. The first is "Design Guidelines to Enhance Pedestrian and Transit Interaction, " which presents a step[-by-step process for planning and designing transit facilities to enhance passenger convenience, comfort, and safety. The report presented here documents the second portion of the study which examined policies and programs supporting transit use. It includes a state-of-the-art literature review of the use and the experience with different techniques, a general discussion of the different approaches, and more detailed case studies of the strategies used in four metropolitan areas. The report identifies the policies and programs that appear most appropriate for further application in Texas. Finally, examples are provided of the gene ral approaches and implementation techniques that can be used by transit providers, municipalities, the Texas Department of Transportation, private business, and other groups to support increased transit use in the state.

This synthesis will be of interest to transportation planners, highway engineers, environmental personnel, highway design engineers, transit planners, highway administrators, and others concerned with the planning, design, and operational features of preferential high- occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on highways. Information is provided on the current and proposed state of the practice in North America. This synthesis describes the state of the art with respect to preferential treatment for HOVs on highways. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides information on long-distance facilities, such as barrier-separated, concurrent-flow (separated and nonseparated), and contraflow facilities, as well as on short-distance facilities, such as queue by-pass lanes. Planning, design, and operational features of each treatment are described. The issues and operating results are described, and specific case studies are included.
