HOT is an acronym for High Occupancy/Toll. HOT lanes similar to HOV Lanes in that they allow vehicles that meet the minimum occupancy requirements to use the lanes. However, SOV users have to pay a monetary toll. HOT is most commonly used as a mechanism to increase utilization of HOV lanes in situations where HOV traffic volumes are well below the capacity of the lane(s). HOV users are typically not charged a toll when using HOT lanes. HOT lanes are provided on the I-15 Freeway in San Diego and on SR-91 in Orange County. Los Angeles County is planning a pilot project to convert the I-10 and I-110 HOV lanes to HOT lanes.
