The Clean Air Vehicle Decal program, allowing electric and hybrid car owners to use carpool lanes without passengers, may end if Congress does not extend it by September 30. Liane Randolph of the California Air Resources Board emphasized the decals' importance for promoting clean vehicles. Individuals can still apply for decals until August 29; however, they will become invalid on October 2. Extending the program needs Congressional approval, which seems unlikely according to Bill Magavern, policy director for the Coalition for Clean Air.
"Clean Air Vehicle Decals are a smart, cost-effective incentive that has played an important role driving the adoption of clean and zero-emission vehicles in California," read a statement from Liane Randolph, chair of the California Air Resources Board.
"I certainly would not bet on that," Magavern said. "It seems that the only deadline that this Congress responds to are the deadlines that are set by Trump, and I really don't see him going out of his way to extend this program."
