On August 28, 1979, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (METRO) of Harris County in Texas, in cooperation with the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation and the Urban Mass Transportation Administration, began operation of a contraflow lane on the North Freeway as one element of a comprehensive corridor transportation improvement program. Metro's objectives in implementing both the contraflow lane and associated corridor improvements were to: (1) decrease or slow the growth of corridor vehicle miles of travel and associated fuel consumption and vehicle emissions; (2) increase vehicle occupancy in the corridor; (3) reduce congestion and therefore, decrease travel time; and (4) encourage acceptance and usage of public transportation. This report presents an evaluation of the impacts related to contraflow operation of Houston's North Freeway.
