The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has adopted a policy to consider a managed lanes approach for all new lanes that are added to the state highway system. DKS Associates used sketch-planning methods to evaluate the feasibility of three methods for MAnged-Lanes for new lnaes that might be added to I-5 in Whatcom COunty. The options considered were High Occupance Vehicle lanes, High Occupance Toll (HOT Lanes and truck-only lanes. The analysis of these options was conducted using simple sketch-planning methods designed to assess whetherthe options approach used, the data that supported the analysis and the results of the analysis. The results reported in the paper demonstrate that a quick-turn-around approach can be effective in screening managed-lane options without extensive modeling or time-consuming analyses and c n support a phased decision-making process.
