A bill to amend title 23, United States Code, to provide for HOV-lane exemptions for low-emission and hybrid vehicles.

This bill would allow state governments to grant drivers of low-emission and hybrid vehicles access to High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, even if the driver is traveling alone. Under current federal law, these lanes are typically reserved for vehicles with two or more occupants to reduce traffic congestion. If passed, this legislation would give states the flexibility to offer carpool lane access as an incentive for citizens to purchase and drive more fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly vehicles.
