MORE VERICATION. LESS ENFORCEMENT.

With GoCarma, agencies can accurately verify the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) status at any location - without requiring roadside enforcement. The GoCarma smartphone app automatically verifies vehicle occupancy by confirming the proximity of at least 2 GoCarma users traveling together in a vehicle. By activating automatically at target “geofenced”

locations, GoCarma offers a touch-free user experience that is easy to use and hard to cheat. Used by more than 50,000 daily commuters in Dallas-Fort Worth to qualify for HOV toll discounts, the GoCarma app has verified HOV status as part of more than 2 million TEXpress Lane transactions.

CASE STUDY
FOR DFW

In Dallas-Fort Worth, GoCarma is used by more than 50,000 road users to qualify for 50% HOV toll discounts during weekday peak periods across the 120-mile TEXpress Lane road network.

Launched in January 2020, GoCarma has verified HOV status as part of more than 2 million toll transactions, with discounts applied directly on road users’ toll bills.

GoCarma has eliminated the need for roadside enforcement and reduced cash leakage by ensuring HOV discounts are only applied to verified HOVs.

HOV
ENFORCEMENT

GoCarma eliminates the need for roadside enforcement by only providing incentives for verified HOVs, with no manual self-declaration of HOV status.

Avoid wasting scarce law enforcement resources on an impossible task of counting people in vehicles passing by at highway speeds by using GoCarma.

No law enforcement. No citations. No invasive roadside imaging. No risk to officers. No traffic degradation. No vulnerability to traffic speed, vehicle type, tinted glass, lighting or weather condition.

Anyone who attempts to cheat with a second GoCarma account will receive a series of escalating in-app warnings, prior to receiving a notice of account suspension.

AWARDED FOR
EXCELLENCE

GoCarma was awarded the Toll Excellence Award for innovation from the worldwide tolling industry group The International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA).

"Carma's groundbreaking technology makes it easier for toll operators to keep track of high-occupancy vehicle drivers and reward them for doing their part for the environment. Here in the U.S., where Carma has successfully deployed its technology already, HOV drivers are now reliably identified and tolled at half the rate of other drivers. Automating the process of verifying occupancy on these roadways also eliminates the need for roadside enforcement, which makes the road safer and less congested. All in all, this is an innovative solution that we're sure will catch on among tolling operators globally."

- Mark Compton, CEO of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and IBTTA president.
