Red Carpool Sticker Expiration

Extend the popular hov lane access program.

Red carpool sticker expiration.

One way to do that. So the red stickers expire on jan 1 2022 purple ones expire on jan 1 2023. The colors for future decals have not yet been determined. Future cav decals will expire on january 1st of the fourth year after the year they are issued.

If you find the original cav decals after you replace them surrender the originals to dmv with a letter of explanation for example you requested a new set of cav decals received them and the missing original cav decals were. Those and the red stickers will expire after the fourth calendar year of issuance. What this means is now is a great time to buy an ev because you ll get the extra carpool lane time. But there s a catch or actually a few.

The california bill signed into law october 10 ab 544 extends by three years the program. This provides an access period of three full years plus the partial year from when the decal was issued. Replacement decals will be the same color with the same expiration date that were initially issued to the vehicle. And if you do wait until december to buy one you probably want to wait until january to apply for a sticker as that one will last an extra year.

There will be a different sticker issued beginning jan. The california department of motor vehicles dmv issues clean air vehicle cav decals that allow vehicles meeting specified emissions standards single occupancy use of high occupancy vehicle hov or carpool lanes. For example if a decal was issued anytime in 2020 it expires january 1 2024. State officials say the new red hov sticker won t expire until january of 2022.
