One of the goals of this project is to promote commute alternatives. In San Diego, carpooling and transit use increased after the I-15 HOT lane was implemented. The free-flow of traffic in the HOT lane encouraged commuters to take transit or form carpools or vanpools to use the lane for free or share the fee. Commuters will also have increased incentives to ride in vanpools or in buses due to shorter and more reliable trip times in the HOT lane.
