The ANNUAL HOVL REPORT is prepared
by the Office of Highway Operations in District 4 of the
California Department of Transpor-tation (Caltrans). This
report contains information concerning the High Occupancy
Vehicle (HOV) lanes on the San Francisco Bay Area freeway
system. Traffic performance data for 1999 for all mainline
HOV lanes and HOV toll gates are provided, including
volumes, vehicle occupancies, and violation rates. Data for
this report is collected twice annually &emdash; once in the
Spring and once in the Fall &emdash; when normal commute
traffic patterns and conditions generally occur. Volumes and
occupancy data for HOV bypass lanes at metered freeway
on-ramps are not included in this annual report. However,
general information on these ramps is included.
