GoCarma is used in places like Dallas-Fort Worth to reliably verify the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) status of vehicles traveling on HOV / Express Lanes.
How GoCarma Works in Some Other Cities
In some other metro areas, when you drive through an HOV / Express Lane, the GoCarma app will record a transaction and present the details to you on the home screen of the app.
You may qualify for incentives for your HOV transactions, depending on your city.
Bringing GoCarma to Other Cities
In other places, law enforcement personnel attempt to confirm the HOV status of vehicles by carrying out periodic roadside spot checks. That's a very ineffective approach, as it's difficult for officers to peer inside vehicles passing at highway speeds - and to issue more than 2 or 3 citations per hour. It's also expensive, and danger for officers.
The GoCarma approach is proven to be much more effective at ensuring HOV discounts and incentives are offered to qualifying vehicles only.
