HOV Clean Vehicle, NY State

[mrbigh]

Applied for them by phone under a week and these showed up today by mail and the mistery have being invailed. By their instructions, the current elegible Vehicles are:
Honda Insight 2000/2004
Toyo Prius 2001/2006
Honda Civic Hybrid 2003/2006

Hondas Insight '05 to '06 do not meet the elegibility criteria because they do not meet Calif Air Resources Board SULEV emission requirements. Included are pictures of the stickers and the instructions for placement of these in our vehicles

That's awesome. I drive the LIE daily but always have my gf in the car as we work in the same company. I would consider getting them tho just in case. You care at all that it will ruin the "look" of the car putting the stickers on it? are they like static clings?

Oh very cool!

I don't think I'll apply, since I don't use the LIE HOV lanes that much. I don't use the LIE for my commute anyways.

Somthing is wrong here. The diagram says "Place the large sticker on the right side of both the front and rear bumper" but the picture shows the sticker on the left side of the front bumper and the right side of the rear bumper. Am I crazy or is the government?

Well at the begining nobody knew the shape, size and color ot these,I had the idea of gigantic yellow stickers with some inscriptions but these really look nice, the largest of them is 7"x 2 3/4" and the smallest is 5" x 2". These are made of reflective self adhesive plastic. Not to bad.
I'm using the Prius for daily commute and business and randombly use the LIE, my major route is the SS Pkwy, but now I may have an excuse to use the HOV by myself

I gess that it's the right side looking at the car in the front and looking at the car in the rear. So the cops can spot you easy.

Here it is. Good luck on the LIE.

"How do I apply for the Clean Pass vehicle stickers?

If you have a vehicle that qualifies and that has a valid NYS registration, call the DMV at 1-800-697-0558 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays that are not State holidays. Have the NYS vehicle registration card issued by the DMV available to provide information to the DMV representative. You cannot apply if you have only a temporary registration issued by an automobile dealer."
