One of the goals of carpool lanes is to reduce air pollution. To that
end, California wanted to jump-start the demand for cleaner
alternative-fuel vehicles. Letting the early adopters of clean
vehicles use the carpool lanes makes sense from that point of view.

So build another diamond lane for alternative fuel SOVs.

It sounds so simple, doesn't it?

Hell, since we can just snap our fingers and build additional lanes,
why don't we just add another 20 lanes or so to every freeway? That
would solve ALL our congestion problems.

Then ban AFSOVs from the HOV lane. Make 'em get a passenger.
