Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area Managed Lanes Study & Survey
Visit the study website and take the community survey
Managed lanes, such as express, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV), high-occupancy toll (HOT), clean air vehicle, or park-and-ride lanes, help reduce congestion, lower Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), improve safety, and meet federal air quality standards in non-attainment areas like Fresno. These lanes are critical for managing traffic on urban freeways. This study will provide high-level guidance for implementing managed lanes in the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area (FCMA), focusing on SR 41, SR 168, and SR 180, while referencing Caltrans’ SR 99 corridor plan. Key tasks include reviewing planned improvements, setting goals, analyzing alternatives using Fresno COG’s activity-based model (ABM), developing an implementation plan, and publishing a final report.
