Abstract: We obtain the exact solution of the facilitated totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (F-TASEP) in 1D. The model is closely related to the conserved lattice gas (CLG) model and to some cellular automaton traffic models. In the F-TASEP a particle at site $j$ in $mathbbZ$ jumps, at integer times, to site $j+1$, provided site $j-1$ is occupied and site $j+1$ is empty. When started with a Bernoulli product measure at density $ho$ the system approaches a stationary state. This non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) has phase transitions at $ho=1/2$ and $ho=2/3$. The different density regimes $0<ho<1/2$, $1/2<ho<2/3$, and $2/3<ho<1$ exhibit many surprising properties; for example, the pair correlation $g(j)=langleeta(i)eta(i+j)angle$ satisfies, for all $ninmathbbZ$, $su{m}_{j=kn+1}^{k(n+1)}g(j)=kh{o}^2$, with $k=2$ when $0lehole1/2$, $k=6$ when $1/2lehole2/3$, and $k=3$ when $2/3lehole1$. The quantity $li{m}_{Loinfty}{V}_L/L$, where $V_L$ is the variance in the number of particles in an interval of length L, jumps discontinuosly from $ho(1-ho)$ to 0 when $hoo1/2$ and when $hoo2/3$.
