Equal Access for Charter Buses on Toll Roads and HOV Lanes
New rules aim to ensure charter buses have the same access to toll roads, bridges, tunnels, and High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes as public transportation vehicles. This means bus companies and passengers can expect more consistent rules for using infrastructure, potentially affecting travel costs and times. Additionally, the Federal Highway Administration will publish information on rates, increasing transparency.
