Possibility of Getting HOV Carpool Lane Stickers For Hybrid Cars In California

Charley

Hello,

I just recently purchased a new Toyota Prius and was wondering what is the truth regarding getting an HOV Carpool lane sticker in California? I've heard that the full allotment are all gone now, but then I've seen some indication that there are actually another batch available. Is it still worth pursuing? I understand that a used Toyota Prius with these stickers can sell for $4K over what the car is actually worth.

Sorry, but the CA Air Resources Board released 10,000 more decals Jan. 1 (and there were 5,000 people on the waiting list when I called in October). I believe they are all long gone at this point and I haven't heard anything about any future releases, but you might want put a call into CARB (800-242-4450)to confirm.
