Learn more about HOT lanes Ever since we announced the public meeting on HOT lanes back in July, more people sent us comments than those who attended. The concept of high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes is a fairly new one and we expected some confusion at first. That's why METRO will be holding more sessions to help you better understand how this model would alleviate congestion and how it will differ from the Katy Managed Lanes. Please plan to attend one of the following public meetings:
Katy Freeway HOV lane closing in September 2008 Because of weather, the Texas Department of Transportation is delaying the closing of the Katy HOV lane to the first week of September 2008. The closure, originally set for August 25, 2008, is necessary for final construction activities on the Katy Freeway. The Managed Lanes will be operated by the Harris County Toll Road Authority, which will be announcing plans for the opening of the lanes in the near future. TxDOT is allowing METRO to continue to operate buses in a closed lane through the construction area. For safety reasons carpools and vanpools will not be allowed in the lane. We encourage you to ride METRO during the transition period.
Sign up for text messages If you live or work on one of the five corridors (North, East End, Southeast, Uptown, and University) where METRO will be building the light-rail expansion, you may want to receive the very latest information at your fingertips. If you have the ability to receive text messages on your mobile phone, we encourage you to sign up now to receive construction updates and other announcements. Standard messaging fees may apply, please check with your cellular carrier for more information. |
