CA Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) Decal Program - HOV Lane Access
The Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) Decal Program is administered by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The program authorizes a vehicle that meets specified emissions standards to be issued a CAV decal to allow single occupancy use of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) or carpool lanes.
The CAV Decal Program is subject to authorization by the Federal Highway Administration. If federal authorization is withdrawn, the program may end sooner than specified in state law.
