How about non HOV world parent makes choice to have kids in neighborhood schools that don't involve them spending hours in the car every day?  That would be good for kids and good congestion.

Seriously why do kids need to be commuting on 270?

The point of HOV should be to get more throughput of people who need to get through a congested corridor.  It is hard for me to rationalize why kids need to get through that congested corridor but I live in DC purposefully so my kids are within walking distance of our home.  But in fact it is bad policy to encourage parents to make different choices so I'm really not sure it is in the "spirit" of the law to have parents zipping around in HOV lanes with kids who really don't need to be going to school downtown - most jobs are downtown and most daycares and schools are not.[/quote]

Wrong. The HOV-3 lanes (495 Express Lanes) are 24 hours. Well, you get to drive for free if you're HOV3, and have to pay if not.

So are they really worried about congestion at 2am on a Saturday night? HOV applies then also.

We use it all the time on the weekend when we go out as a family. [/quote]
