HOT lanes in which car and van poolers and bus users have free access and priority use while drivers of single occupant vehicles choose to use these lanes on an as-needed basis by paying a fee

WSDOT has looked at a range of options to address the projected increase in population and employment along this corridor. Studies acknowledge the importance of connecting I-405 and SR 167 to form a seamless corridor. The Eastside Corridor (made up of sections of Snohomish, King and Pierce counties, stretching down I-405 and SR 167 to SR 512) vision includes new highway lanes, improved interchanges, express toll lanes, expanded transit service including bus rapid transit (BRT) and expanded vanpool programs

This four-year pilot project which started in 2008, provides a new option for solo drivers on SR 167 and evaluates how HOT lanes and variable tolling can improve traffic flow and ease congestion. By converting the pre-existing high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes into HOT lanes, SR 167 now allows solo drivers to pay a variable, electronically collected toll using a "Good To Go!" transponder to drive in the HOT lane when there is available space

The shoulder is open to all traffic during peak travel periods on weekdays from 7 to 11 a.m. and 2 to 8 p.m. A lane-use management system, with green arrows and red "X's" similar to the lane-control system on I-66, alerts travelers when the shoulder is available.

Express Pass is an electronic payment system along the I-15 Express Lanes. This system helps UDOT better manage traffic on I-15 by giving more solo drivers the opportunity to use the Express Lanes while ensuring that carpooling remains a benefit.

Managed lanes on IH 10

In November 2000 the Northwest Freeway HOV lane was converted to HOT use, and is operated in a manner similar to the Katy Freeway. The Northwest QuickRide allows paying two-plus carpools to use the lane only in the morning peak when three-plus occupancy requirements are in effect.

PARK Smart aims to increase the number of available metered parking spaces by encouraging motorists to park no longer than necessary. The meter rate is higher when demand for parking is greatest and decreases when demand is lower.
