Subject: Gas car ban alternative
Comment:
The HOV stickers are effective as an incentive to buy low emission vehicles. To further reduce pollution I would suggest a negative incentive rather than a ban on gas cars. My suggestion is to restrict vehicles with poor gas mileage (say starting at 15mpg, higher over time) to the two right lanes. That will avoid negative impacts on rural or commercial users that may have a legitimate use for an F350-style truck but will reduce pollution from weekend warriors doing 80 on the freeway. A commercial user with a full truck is already driving in the slow lanes. It also seems like a rational and fair approach unlikely to draw federal action.
