fine. The stickers could be made available in gas stations and convenience stores like lottery tickets. It's low tech but cheap.
Maybe Dick Day already proposed this. I haven't heard what his method is.
According to the article I mentioned yesterday, Dick Day's proposal for the HOV lanes does include buying a window decal that would allow one access to the HOV lanes. I'm not sure, where one would be able to buy them.
I've cut and pasted from the article below. You might want to check out this article. Its pretty short and provides a few more details about what Dick Day has in mind for us.

"Day said Monday that he would like to open the lanes to more drivers to help relieve congestion, but the Federal Highway Administration frowns on eliminating the restrictions. As an alternative, Day suggested opening the lanes to those willing to pay a $500 annual fee.That could raise $1 million on each highway for such purposes as hiring more state patrol officers, Day said.
The Minnesota Department of Driver and Vehicle Services would issue the permits that would be displayed as a window decal."
