The project, called 95 Express, is a combined Bus Rapid <br /> • Transit/Managed Lane project. Existing lane and shoulder widths will be slightly <br /> ® reduced so that an additional lane can be provided on 1-95 in each direction <br /> ® without expanding the corridor. The two existing High Occupancy Vehicle <br /> ® (HOV) lanes and two new lanes on Interstate 1-95 will be converted to limited <br /> access Managed Lanes. The Managed Lanes can be used by 95 Express Buses, <br /> ® vanpools and registered car pools for free while other Vehicles can use the <br /> facility by paying a variable toll. The toll rate will vary'depending on the time of <br /> ® day so that the Managed Lanes can be free flowing'= at approximately 50 MPH <br /> 410 <br /> - at all times. The Managed Lanes provide a reliable option that is there for you <br /> when you need it. <br /> 40 <br /> ® The project will provide the first critical link to the region's up-and-coming <br /> ® network of Managed Lanes and will connect the Miami _Central Business District <br /> ® from 1-395 to 1-595 in Broward County.It will also provide direct access from the <br /> ® Broward Boulevard Park-n-Ride lot south to 1-395, providing 24 miles of regional <br /> ® linkage between Broward and Miami-Dade County. The goal of the 95 Express <br /> ® project is to create a 24 mile Bus Rapid Transit corridor on 1-95, to provide <br /> ® congestion relief to South Florida, and to provide drivers with a reliable <br /> ® transportation option. This will be done with the promotion of Bus Rapid Transit <br /> ® and variable toll congestion pricing. <br /> ® r r%oo A r1IKIt 2-23 <br />
