A Managed Lanes Open House hosted by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has been rescheduled for Tuesday, February 20, 2007 from 6:00 to 8:30 PM at the Thompson Conference Center at UT. The open house will provide information about managed lanes, a new approach that provides options for freeway travel. The informal structure will allow attendees to come and go at their own pace by visiting various display stations and interacting with managed lane experts.
Brief presentations on managed lanes will also be provided every 30 minutes and fact sheets with other printed resource material will be available to attendees. Information on successful managed lane facilities in San Diego, Minnesota, Denver, Houston, and Orange County, California will be featured at the open house.
If you have any questions, please contact Ginger Goodin at g-goodin@tamu.edu (TTI).
