No. Unlike taxation, only the user will be charged a fee to use the HOT lane; a motorist simply is given the option to pay to use the lane if better mobility and more reliable trip time are desired. If a motorist does not want to pay the toll assessed for use of a HOT lane at a given time, he or she does not have to and may use the regular general travel lanes at no cost.
