HOV Lanes (Carpool Lanes)

High-occupancy vehicle lanes are open to anyone carpooling with 2 or more passengers. You can use these lanes to cut down travel time during your commute.

When commuting to and from Boston, you may notice High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-93 North of Boston and on the Southeast Expressway. These lanes can help you get in and out of the city faster by saving a few minutes during your commute. You can use the HOV lanes if your vehicle has 2 or more occupants.
