Hybrids on California HOV Lanes Okayed
Quote:
A transportation bill signed Wednesday by President Bush includes a provision by Congressman Brad Sherman that cleared the way for California to allow hybrid vehicles on High Occupancy Vehicle lanes.
"This gives California a way to ease freeway congestion and promote the use of more fuel-efficient cars," Sherman said.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday that it was moving ahead with plans to issue special stickers to owners of hybrid vehicles that would allow them to drive in HOV lanes with only one person in the car.
