High Occupancy Toll Express Lanes
HOV Lanes are tolled where vehicles that meet the occupancy requirements for a particular stretch of road can use the roadway free while vehicles less than the minimum occupancy requirement can use the same stretch of the roadway by paying a toll that varies depending on the level of traffic on the lanes.
A lot of HOT Lanes require an HOV-based toll transponder and at least 2 or 3 people in the vehicle with the HOV transponder in the 'HOV ON' setting to use the lanes for free depending on the stretch of roadway and the minimum occupancy requirements indicated by the traffic signs. Vehicles that do not meet the occupancy requirement for a free trip on the HOT Lanes will pay a variably-priced toll with the HOV transponder in the 'HOV OFF' setting to indicate the vehicle has less than the minimum amount of people needed in the car to pay the toll.
