True" if you're among the many people who use the i-15 Express Lanes, or even if you just travel i-15 regularly, you're about to see some big changes in the way Express lanes work, how solo drivers pay to use them, and how they help clear up traffic. UDOT is implementing a new system designed to maximize the use of Express lanes by permitting more drivers to use them on a pay-per-use basis, thereby allowing traffic to move more freely across all lanes of I-15. For the next few minutes, we'd like to show you why these changes are being made, how they work, and what they will mean to you.

The first thing to know about i-15's Express lanes is that they have been successful in helping to relieve congestion on the highway's general traffic lanes, as well as promoting the idea of carpooling. However, since the lanes still have more capacity, they could accommodate more cars and further improve traffic flow. In order to increase the efficiency of the lanes and allow more people to use them more of the time, we needed a new system that didn't just allow more vehicles in but that still managed to maintain speeds of at least 55 miles per hour. And that's where our new electronic system fits the bill. Utah's new electronic express lane system is based on systems used successfully in several other cities across the country and is designed to be a highly efficient, seamless way of achieving the proper balance between cars using the express lanes and cars using the general lanes. Here's how it works: starting in the fall of 2010, drivers can go online to purchase an Express Pass transponder that attaches directly to their windshield....
