Abstrakt: Transportation in the United States is a deeply and intricately racialized system. In this paper, we use Seiler's ideas regarding the racialization of mobility and Henricks and Seamster's theory of the racial tax state, in conjunction with Presser's analysis of the unsaid, to explain high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) to high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane conversions in U.S. metropolitan areas. We argue that silence on race in the major push for HOV to HOT lane conversions by libertarian "think tanks" and U.S. Department of Transportation guidance is fundamental to instrumentalizing transportation policy for racist tax regimes.
