I am cross-posting a message from the Yahoo group because I thought it was worth sharing here for those Californians interested in supporting this effort: From: "rnakano" <rnakano@p...> Date: Tue Jan 6, 2004 12:20 am Subject: Hybrids in California HOV Lanes FYI - AB 114 was introduced in 2003 by CA Assembly Member George Nakano to allow hybrid vehicles onto the high-occupany vehicle lanes, regardless of the number of occupants in the vehicle. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_..._introduced.pdf As I understand it, he plans on re-introducing a similar bill, but with measures to provide greater coordination/cooperation with the Federal government. For more information or to express support for the effort, you might want to contact his office. District Office 1217-19 El Prado Avenue Torrance, CA 90501 (310) 782-1553 [email protected] - Roy
