For legislation to authorize transportation revenues to be collected in high occupancy vehicle lanes from single passenger vehicles on Route I-93. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish a program allowing single-passenger vehicles, which normally cannot use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, to access HOV lanes on Interstate Highway Route 93 for a fee. HOV lanes are typically reserved for vehicles with multiple occupants to encourage carpooling and reduce traffic. The revenue generated from these fees will be used to pay off the debt associated with the central artery project and the third harbor tunnel project, which are significant infrastructure projects in the metropolitan highway system.
