That's not how it works... Just because 20% of the population uses transit doesn't mean the HOV lanes are utilized 31.6% on Highway 1 lol. Like I said you can reward people for using the HOV lane, but the fact is they're not being used. So dedicating 1/3 of capacity to something that is under utilized is backwards thinking
