This is an excellent idea.
Motorcycles are vulnerable vehicles which use less energy to transport commuters. The use of Motorcycles should be encouraged as much as possible. The use of an HOV lane would serve this purpose well.
Fantastic idea. I had assumed this was already the case, as motorcycles are one of the most efficient ways to commute from a fuel consumption and emissions standpoint.
It makes sense. The MTO allows green vehicles to use the HOV. Motorcycles are far more fuel efficient than any car. Also cars have 4 wheels and two or more passengers qualify to use the HOV lanes. Each Motorcycle has one rider on two wheels.
This proposal is good common sense ...is safety for motorcycles and accomodating fuel efficient travel. This has been requested for many years under liberal government was always delayed . Another good job conservatives
I feel this is a smart decision made by the government. Motorcycles can travel safely in the HOV lanes without worrying about high speed traffic surrounding or passing them. Please make the changes. Thank you.
This sounds like a fantastic idea and will help clear some congestion from our roads AND make it safer for motorcyclists, too! This is a win-win all around. I can't encourage this enough.
HOV is safer for bikers and bikers should be allowed to ride regardless if they have a pillion or not. It's allowed in so many states and provinces in North America. Don't know why Ontario still hasn't allowed it yet.
The advantages of permitting motorcyclists on HOV
- Lower risk of getting rear ended, side swiped in traffic
- Less exhaustion from heat. Many motorcycles are air cooled, and they generate heat that dissipates onto the rider
- Eliminate wastage of fuel waiting in traffic

As a motorcyclist in Ontario this would be highly appreciated as it is safer options and not having to drive amongst the other cars. I hope this gets approved
This would be a great help to all us riders who are stuck behind cars and trucks on the 400 hwys. Would really appreciate if the law comes in to effect as soon as possible. Would reduce a lot of rear endings that bikers have to endure in traffic jams. Thank you.
Lane placement to a Motorcycle Rider is a major part of road safety. Because of a Motorcycle being smaller in size this can be a difficult task "to always be seen" especially on a multi-lane highway that at times can be very crowded.
