Congestion is actually worse for the environment and quality of life than relieving congestion. We aren't in an era where Atlanta is about to keep sprawling with new home construction at ridiculous lows and car efficiency standards set to reach 50mpg+ soon so I'm all for transportation projects that ease congestion. (No that's not my entire argument)
I don't think HOT lanes are efficient unless the toll prices are precisely variable for reasons I discussed in another thread.
