      abstract = {Metropolitan areas are facing increasing congestion but  financial resources to provide new or expanded  transportation infrastructure will be limited in the  future. Moreover, environmental constraints limit expansion  of the highway footprint in urban travel corridors. This  paper assesses a strategy to alleviate recurring congestion  on metropolitan highway systems by adding “dynamic”  capacity during peak periods using shoulders as travel  lanes, along with variable peak-period user charges levied  on all lanes to manage demand and pay for the capacity  improvements. It presents an analysis of the traffic,  delay, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and cost and  revenue impacts. The paper then discusses various technical  and public acceptance issues with regard to the concept,  and how these issues might be addressed.},
