Actually I don't know whether diamond lanes in California reduce pollution - nor anyplace else. It may well be that having those additional lanes available to single vehicle drivers would cut down on pollution more. I don't commute into a congested area, myself. My office is in a small town not far from my house - 5 minutes with no traffic, 10 minutes is usual. Sometimes I have to drive into the congested areas for one reason or another - and I observe that the HOV/diamond lanes move easily here. Sometimes when I drive into a congested area I drive with more than one person in the car and am able to take advantage of these lanes, and the drive is much more pleasant. DC metro area traffic is as bad as LA. New York would be worse but people have just given up. I've driven in Manhattan - it's more insane than DC. Boston is, too. You California people aren't unique in traffic congestion. When I have to go into DC during rush hour, I take the metro.
