Green ECO plates for Ontario, still planned? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ontario was due to announce Green license plates (with perks) for eco-friendly vehicles back in August. I've seen nor heard nothing yet. Can anyone shed any light regarding this now overdue program? Or was is squashed?

I think it had something to do with political propaganda. I was looking forward to it, first with my smart car and now with my Yaris.

I think it would be a dandy idea, priority parking for eco cars(EI Ikea has Hybrid parking spots(This made me just want to grab a Hybrid badge and throw it on there, lol.))

I liked the notion of using the HOV lanes without passengers for my morning commute. It's near empty at 6:15 a.m., unlike the other three lanes of the 403. Not many carpooling through the night. Not until office hours.
