On May 3, 2002, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Systems (A3A06) hosted a 2002 California HOV Summit in Irvine, California. Building off the success of the first technical summit on HOV lanes held 2 years ago, this year's 2002 California HOV Summit brought together top transportation leaders and elected and appointed officials from around the state to discuss the latest events and research findings surrounding HOV lanes. HOVs Work was the principal theme at this year's event. The Summit objectives were to: o Improve the understanding of HOV planning and operations; o Provide comprehensive and objective research findings; o Discuss the top HOV issues brought forth by the public and elected-officials; o Communicate statewide and regional performance measures; o Discuss future legislative changes that are performance-based; and o Discuss approaches to maximize HOV lane productivity.
