California
HOV, or carpool lane, access for hybrid vehicles
Only
75,000 hybrids will get permits and not all hybrids qualify
One reason some people
purchase hybrid
cars is to get access to HOV lanes with only a single
occupant, but did you know that only 75,000 total hybrid
vehicles will be given permits to participate? California
capped the number of permits because of Virginia's
experience with congestion.
Currently, only three hybrid models qualify, the Toyota
Prius, the Honda
Civic hybrid and the Honda
Insight.
As of November 30, only 35,914 of the HOV permits had been
granted, so there is still time for new hybrid owners to
receive HOV passes.
Aside from California and Virginia, Arizona, Connecticut,
Georgia and Minnesota are also considering similar
legislation.
Visit the California
DMV website for more information on how to apply because
the application process is different for some parts of
California.
