The argument has been made that trucks have a higher value of time than autos, and may therefore be willing to pay a higher price for congestion relief. In addition to congestion relief, truckers might also be willing to pay tolls on CMV-only lanes that facilitate operations of LCVs and other oversize/overweight (OS/OW)

• Task 7 -- Prepare an interim report that summarizes the findings and data collected in the first six tasks. The interim report was completed in August 2008 and an edited version of the report that responds to panel comments is presented as Appendix A (available on the TRB website at www.TRB.org by searching for NCHRP Report 649/NCFRP Report 3)

The general approach used in these evaluations was to define two primary scenarios -- long-haul intercity corridors and congested urban corridors -- to develop a series of relevant alternatives for each scenario, and then to conduct sensitivity tests for the impact of other features (such as tolling)

The limited data available from these real-world applications makes it difficult to conclusively evaluate certain performance features of CMV-only lanes, particularly the safety and reliability benefits. Nonetheless, where these data are available they have been used in this study to validate certain conclusions about anticipated performance benefits of CMV-only lanes.
