Abstract	The implementation of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes is a very important part of the Georgia Department of Transportation fight against road congestion and air pollution. They were first introduced to Metro Atlanta on December 14, 1994, along an 18-mile section of I-20, east of I-75/85. Two years later, an additional 60 miles of lane opened on I-75/85, inside I-285. Designed to help reduce air pollution, improve traffic congestion and ensure a substantial time-savings for commuters who rideshare (two or more occupants per vehicle), HOV lanes are now an integral part of the Georgia Navigator System. This web site explains the concept of HOV lanes. It has links to the HOV implementation plan, clean air campaign, park and ride lot information, carpool information, and vanpool information.
