HOV Lanes for Heroes Act
This bill allows disabled veterans with qualifying service-connected disabilities to use HOV lanes as single-occupant vehicles. It requires a special license plate, transponder, or other identification approved by the transportation authority. Disabled veterans meeting VA disability rating thresholds (defined in the bill) can use HOV lanes without paying tolls, bypassing standard occupancy rules. The law amends federal transportation code to add this exception for disabled veterans under specific identification and disability criteria.
