Description
• As of today, single drivers in an EV (e.g., Tesla) with a valid Clean Air decal and a FasTrak Flex can ride free (or half price, depending on area) in HOV lanes
• Gas cars must carry the posted 2- or 3-person minimum or risk an ≈$490 HOV ticket.
But, this is set to expire Sep 30 2025.
Resolution criteria, at end date:
If, on Oct 1, Teslas with (some proper stickerage) can continue to ride in these lanes free, YES
If they have to pay or can't ride at all without risking tickets, NO
Unless there's a law passed but not in effect yet: if this would resolve NO, but, a law is actually fully passed which will absolutely go into effect re-enabling this by Dec 1 or earlier, then we wait until that date, and if such a thing does happen, we immediately YES. If Dec 1 passes and Tesla EVs still can't do this, then it'll NO.
