California’s clean air vehicle program ends, stripping over 465,000 drivers of HOV lane access and toll discounts starting October 1.
California’s Clean Air Vehicle decal program ends September 30, 2025, after federal authorization expired, removing the ability for single-occupant electric and hybrid vehicles to use carpool lanes or receive discounted tolls.
Over 465,000 drivers, especially in the Bay Area, lose access to HOV lanes and reduced tolls starting October 1, with some facing doubled toll costs.
The program, active since 2001, offered significant savings, such as half-price Bay Bridge tolls, but was not extended despite Governor Newsom’s efforts.
A 60-day grace period precedes enforcement.
