State and regional leaders have come up to convert the region's 32 miles of existing high occupancy vehicle (HOV-2) lanes into high occupancy toll (HOT-2) lanes called the I-64 Express Lanes. According to a 2016 study by VDOT, only 1600 vehicles travel through the Norfolk HOV lanes during the morning HOV restriction (6-8am), and only 1300 vehicles through the lanes through Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. The plans for the I-64 Express Lanes have been divided into individual segments, all of which have been endorsed by the regions transportation planning organization.
