The plan is to develop toll express lanes following agreement on a regional network in which all the area's HOV lanes will be tolled for single and two occupant vehicles. The RFP covers three initial projects: 55 kilometres on I-880 in Alameda County, 45 kilometres each direction on the mainline and two five kilometre westbound-only spurs to the San Mateo CA92 and Dumbarton CA84 bridges and 18 kilometres of I-80. These are all single express lane each direction on the inside, and mostly open access with dashed lane markings, and only operational in peak hours.
