Why are we different
Public Private partnerships• Federal Highway Administration funding of projects (MAP-21 Section 1501)• Adminstration by State Departments of Transportation• Stakeholders include local Transportation Authorities
Completely Legal• Drivers don’t earn profit > $0.56/mi plus tolls/parking, rider pays $0.20/mi• No impact on automotive insurance, or liability to government partners
Motivating factors• Commute time reduced >20% along HOV, HOT/managed lane corridors• 30% safer than Single Occupancy Vehicle• More flexible than traditional carpool arrangements• Tolling and parking incentives
Government purpose• Increased passenger per hour through-put• Extending reach of public transportation for first & last mile• Reduction of parking requirements in Urban/employment centers• Technology enabled occupancy verification for safer enforcement
