I-35W Urban Corridor Demonstration Project
The purpose of the I-35W Urban Corridor Demonstration Project is to implement and evaluate the Bus-on-Metered Freeway System. The system includes the following elements: Metering of an urban radial freeway; a real-time surveillance, command and control system; extensive express bus service in the corridor; priority access to the freeway via express bus ramps; and provision of transit passenger amenities, i.e., bus shelters, signs, and park-and-ride facilities. The complete system, located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, became operational in April 1974. Goals of the Urban Corridor Demonstration Program include: demonstrating the impact of a coordinated use of FHWA and UMTA programs in alleviating peak hour congestion in heavily used traffic corridors; improving the efficiency of existing transportation facilities in terms of people moving capability; encouragement of urban areas to coordinate planning of highway and transit improvements to obtain maximum impact; and improvement of peak hour traffic flow in the project cities and documentation of results for national application.
