Hybrid Cars Coming Soon to Carpool Lanes
Quote:
Hybrid car owners are fast approaching the day when they will be allowed to drive solo in California's car pool lanes.
California's law was supposed to take effect Jan. 1 but first needed approval from the federal government. That permission was tucked into a $286 billion transportation bill Congress passed last week, meaning there is just one last strand of red tape keeping hybrids out of the high-occupancy vehicle lanes: State air regulators need to clarify which vehicles meet the mileage and emissions standards.
