Projects that evolve from the PEL Study may involve operational improvements, additional lanes, and/or Choice Lanes. Choice Lanes are additional lanes that use pricing to manage demand and ensure reliable travel times. These lanes typically maintain a minimum speed of around 45 mph during rush hour, even when adjacent lanes are congested. If available, would you use Choice Lanes for a fee to improve connectivity, safety, and congestion along this corridor? Please indicate your level of support on the scale.
