	Executive Report Effects of Changing HOV Lane Occupancy Requirements: El Monte Busway Case Study
		Buses have always been a key element of the El Monte Busway. Prior to the vehicle-occupancy change, approximately 80 buses operated on the Busway during the morning peak hour. This figure is one of the highest hourly bus volumes on exclusive or concurrent flow HOV facilities in the country.
		Foothill Transit operates the majority of buses on the Busway, with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) providing some service. Both express routes and local/express routes operate on the Busway. Overall, Foothill Transit buses make 500 trips per day on the Busway carrying some 18,000 passengers.
		The violation rates increased significantly to 41 percent and 56 percent during the early phase of the 3+ peak/2+ off-peak operations. Extra enforcement and more visible enforcement was not provided during the initial 3+/2+ operation. As a result, it appears that many 2+ carpools continued to use the lane during the 3+ peak-period.

		Transit agencies may experience savings of 30% to 40% when they outsource some of their services, according to the Reason Foundation in Los Angeles.
