Ridley-Thomas Featured On ABC News Regarding 'Hot Lanes' Law

Governor Schwarzenegger signed a bill to allow solo drivers into carpool lanes at a cost.

The governor signed the bill on Monday. High Occupancy Toll lanes, or "HOT" lanes, will be used on two busy Southern California freeways.

"We have to innovate and we have to do all that we can to make sure that we relieve traffic in the city and county of Los Angeles," said state Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas (D-Los Angeles).

Ridley-Thomas wrote the legislation and he says it will not only ease congestion, but it will also improve air quality and create jobs.
