Informational Meeting on Converting I-880 HOV Lanes to Express Lanes

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has scheduled two public meetings on plans to convert High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes between Oakland and Milpitas to express lanes.

Express lanes are free for carpools, vanpools, buses and other eligible vehicles, but also allow solo drivers to choose to pay tolls to use the lane.

The goal is to maximize the capacity of lane and better manage freeways to keep traffic moving.

Lanes would be converted along Interstate 880 and State Routes 92 and 84.

The MTC has scheduled to public meetings to discuss the project:

Thursday, January 29, 2015
5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Hayward City Hall

Wednesday, February 25, 2015
