This week, Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) " which was acquired by Xerox (NYSE: XRX) in February 2010 " announced that it's building a new, electronic toll system on the two busiest highways in Los Angeles, to allow all single car drivers, even those in a diesel guzzling Hummer, to shift into carpool lanes for a fee. When average traffic levels in a carpool lane rise overall, so will the fee. The company and city plan to calibrate the systems to keep traffic at a steady 45 miles per hour in the carpool lane (at least). Once equipped with the new toll system, the carpool lanes along Interstate 10 and Interstate 110 will be called ExpressLanes, instead. Los Angeles and Xerox are building this project with the idea of reducing highway congestion overall...Is the death of the carpool lane as we know it environmentally sound, though?
