Some Carpool Drivers Could Get Express Transponder Refund

By Shaun Boyd
DENVER (CBS4)– Some Colorado drivers could get a little refund if some state lawmakers get their way. They claim carpoolers shouldn’t have to pay $15 for transponders to ride for free.
Right now, drivers on U.S. 36 are required to buy a transponder that has a flip to switch depending on whether drivers are using the HOV lane for carpooling.
It was part of a controversial deal CDOT struck with a private company to widen and manage the highway.
