Hybrid Vehicles and HOV Lanes

We received a question on whether or not hybrid electric/gas vehicles should be allowed to use high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Dr. Dave responded, calling hybrid cars an essential component of a sustainable transportation strategy but policies to let them use HOV lanes would be unnecessary and counterproductive.

The complete Question and Answer from Dr.Dave:  Is it good policy to let hybrid vehicles use HOV lanes?
