Abstract
This research answers the question, during an urban evacuation should regional planners allow transit units signal priority when police assisted traffic controls are not an option. A case study of Washington D.C. shows allowing transit signal priority (TSP) during an urban evacuation has little to no effect on evacuation clearance time. Furthermore, four non-prioritized units are required to accomplish the task of three prioritized vehicles. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
