Tolling in Colorado

I-25 HOV Express Lanes

HOV/tolled Express Lanes maximize the efficiency of HOV lanes. HOV/Express Lanes allow those who drive alone (also known as "single occupant vehicles") to use the HOV/Express Lanes if they pay a toll. As the HOV lanes have excess space, there is still room for additional vehicles without any travel time impacts to carpoolers to use these lanes without paying a toll. However, those who drive alone will now have the option of paying a toll.
