Is Mn/DOT going to stop putting in meters or HOV bypasses?
A. These are longer-range policy questions that cannot be addressed until the results of the ramp meter shutdown study are completely analyzed and presented to the Legislature for its consideration. Q. I’m a carpooler and my only advantage is the HOV ramp-meter bypass. With the ramp meters off at some locations or operating at a less restrictive rate, my advantage is practically gone. Was Carpooling considered in this new strategy? A. The impacts of ramp meters on mass transit and other HOV’s (like carpoolers) was one of the issues studied. Data regarding those impacts is presently still not available – but will be in time for the report to the legislatively mandated February 1, 2001 report. As part of its effort to balance both the engineering perspectives along with the needs of multiple system user groups like those who use transit or who carpool, the Agency will continue to track ramp meter modification impacts and make those adjustments which can technically and feasibly be made.
