Summary

"The objective of this study was to analyze traffic impacts of adding express lanes along MoPac south of Cesar Chavez Street. Further, the project involves assessing the implementation of two direct-connector ramps between the express lanes and Cesar Chavez Street. The ramps provide direct connections between the MoPac South express lanes and Cesar Chavez Street, in both directions. The analysis, covering both morning (6:00-9:00 AM) and afternoon (3:30-6:30 PM) peak periods, was completed using dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models. These models were used to estimate changes to area travel patterns for each scenario analyzed. This study was funded by the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). This report summarizes the results observed from the DTA models and provides several recommendations based on the findings.." --p.6, Introduction
