Does anyone the status of allowing Hybrids in the HOV lanes in MD? In the past there has been some discussion about it, but as far as I know nothing has materialized.

Specifically, it seems the long stretch on Route 50 that goes from the Capital Beltway to Davidsonville, MD that allows motorcycles should also allow Hybrids.

I wish they allowed hybrids. I bet it won't change, however. Have not heard anything otherwise.

Yeah, I wish they would allow hybrids... here are a couple of good links:

"In some cases, hybrid vehicles are permitted to use HOV lanes or roads.".

Well for the Federal government, that is certainly a nice clear answer.
