CA Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) Decal Program - HOV Lane Access
If you drive a vehicle that meets certain emissions standards and other criteria, you may be able to get Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) decals and a CAV decal identification (ID) card, which 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 If federal authorization is withdrawn, the program may end sooner than specified in state law.
