DENVER – The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the High Performance Transportation Enterprise (HPTE) will host a telephone town hall tonight, Dec. 12, to discuss the upcoming change from HOV 2+ to HOV 3+ on U.S. 36 and I-25 express lanes starting Jan. 1. HOV 3+ means a driver needs at least two passengers and a switchable HOV transponder pass to use those express lanes free as a carpooler.
Beginning at 7 p.m., CDOT will call residents along the US 36 and I-25 Corridors. Interested residents who do not receive a call or would like to participate are asked to dial 1-877-229-8493 and enter the access code 112034.

Speakers will include representatives from CDOT; HPTE; State Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada; 36 Commuting Solutions; and Smart Commute Metro North.
HPTE operates as a government-owned, independent business within CDOT. It searches out innovative ways to finance projects to help Colorado fulfill its commitment to increase travel choices through options that include express lanes, transit, biking, walking and carpooling.
