Slow Start to L.A.'s Toll Lanes Certain to Gain Speed
Given time optional lanes reduce congestion and provide travel options
May 20, 2013The new toll lanes on I-10 and I-110 opened with complaints and slower traffic in the general purpose lanes. While frustrating this is not unusual for these type of lane conversions.

Give Managed Lane Conversions Time
May 16, 2013, 9:34amLos Angeles recently converted portions of its I-10 and I-110 HOV lanes to HOT lanes. In the months after the conversions, travel times have decreased for transit vehicles and cars in the HOT lanes but increased for traffic in the general-purpose lanes. In an Op-Ed article for the Los Angeles Daily News I explained that these are part of the growing pains for the Managed Lanes. Users need to give the lanes up to a year to realize the maximum benefits of the conversion.
