In an effort to encourage the use of hybrid cars, Arizona governor has issued an executive order allowing hybrid cars into the HOV lane during rush hour. Also, Napolitano ordered state agencies to only purchase hybrid and other fuel-efficient vehicles starting in 2007.

While they are doing that, the state is also been committed to reduce greenhouse gases by fifty percent below the 2000 levels by 2040.

I would imagine (although I am not involved with the process) that the state agencies involved will be setting up a system to give hov access to hybrid cars in a similar manner as California and Virginia have done. In other words, you'll have to register for a small fee to drive in the HOV lane.
