Carpool lane perks are a thing of the past in the state of Florida.
Senate Bill 1662 went into effect on July 1.
It eliminates the special privileges for low-emission and hybrid vehicles to use the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes on Florida highways.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation , the 95 Express LEV Toll Exemption Program will not accept new registration or renewals. Existing exemptions will remain valid until after their current expiration.
Under the program , carpools of three or more people 3 were able to use 95 Express lanes for free once the carpool was registered with South Florida Commuter Services. Each member of the 3 carpool was also entitled to free guaranteed ride home benefits.
