Military Personnel Readiness Act of 2010

The Military Personnel Readiness Act of 2010 proposes to give states the authority to allow active-duty service members, law enforcement officers, and emergency responders to use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, regardless of the number of passengers in their vehicles. To implement this, state agencies would be permitted to establish specific eligibility rules and create a badging or identification system for participating vehicles. Additionally, the bill mandates a federal study to investigate how urban traffic congestion impacts the operational readiness of military personnel living and working in densely populated areas.
