Any Southern California drivers here? I’m a bit confused about the rules for Metro Express Lanes like I-10 and how it relates to HOV lanes.
I know EV owners with a CAV decal can drive in regular HOV lanes without a passenger.
In the past, I read EVs could drive in Express Lanes with the transponder set to 3 passengers all the time. But I think that was changed a few years ago, so now you must set the transponder to match the actual number of occupants.
So the question is, what about the Express Lanes that require 2 or 3 passengers? Am I allowed to drive there solo, and which rate will I pay?
