HOV Lane Exemption Reauthorization Act

This bill keeps allowing certain alternative-fuel and clean vehicles to use HOV (carpool) lanes even with only one person in the car. It does this by extending the current end date from September 30, 2025, to September 30, 2031.

In short, it’s about giving more time for cleaner cars to keep using carpool lanes under the existing program in federal law.

• Who is affected: Drivers of certain alternative-fuel and clean vehicles.
• What changes: The authorization to use HOV lanes is extended by six years.
• When: Through September 30, 2031.
