The LA City Council voted unanimously to extend the free parking for hybrid cars until 2010. The rules have changed, however. In order to take advantage of the program, you must have a state decal allowing you carpool access on freeways.Since those decals are already sold out, no new cars can qualify for the privilege. Only the Prius, Civic Hybrid, Honda Insight and Ford Escape Hybrid are included in the program.
It's estimated the cost to the city is about $116,560 a year -- 0.56 percent of the total annual meter revenue.
