Managed lanes are designated lanes or roadways within highway rights-of-way where the flow of traffic is managed by restricting
vehicle eligibility,
limiting facility access, or in some cases
collecting variably priced tolls.
Here are the committee meetings from Monday through Wednesday. Volunteers and friends are encouraged to attend.
TRB’s Technical Activities Division has over 200 standing committees that sponsor various sessions during the Annual Meeting.
The AHB35 Standing Committee is charged with supporting practitioners and furthering research for managed lanes.
