Can we still apply for Carpool in California for Civic GX?

Question

Hi All, I heard that we reached 85,000 HOV lane access (carpool) stickers but DMV is still giving stickers for All electric/ CNG/ LPG cars? Is it true? Did any one applied and got it?

Thanks.

Yes, it is true.  The 85,000 sticker limit applies only to approved hybrids (the Civic and Prius), and the last of those stickers was issued in February, 2007.    The Civic GX is a natural gas vehicle.  It qualifies for a white carpool sticker (rather than the common yellow sticker that identifies the hybrids) and there are no limits on those.  

Full disclosure:  I am a dealer/broker in the Bay Area, CA specializing in alternative and carpool vehicles, including pre-owned hybrids with valid HOV stickers.  Feel free to contact me at [e-mail]
