The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is now issuing C Plate Permits.

Effective January 1, 2009 under new Administrative Rules, a permit issued by UDOT is needed for vehicle owners to obtain a Clean Fuel - Clean Air license plate (C Plate) from the Division of Motor Vehicles.  For additional information about C Plates and C Plate Permits, please refer to the FAQs below. 

Under Federal Law, certain eligible "clean fuel" vehicles with only one occupant may operate for free in the Express/HOV Lanes as long as carpoolers are not negatively affected.  On a yearly basis UDOT will monitor and evaluate the impact of current C Plate vehicles using the Express/HOV Lanes to determine whether there is sufficient capacity to accommodate additional C Plate vehicles.

Now that UDOT has determined that the Express/HOV Lanes can accommodate additional C Plate vehicles without impacting carpool vehicles, C Plate Permits will be issued by UDOT to eligible applicants.  If more applications are received than available permits, applicants will be selected on a random basis up to the number of permits that will be allowed.
