Mostly true, but, they generate revenue in this case. I believe this was their motive all along. A recent Deseret News article says they are no longer going to issue warnings for HOV lane violations, start issuing tickets.

Edit: Based on the number of toll passes they have sold and plan to sell they will make about $660,000 every year from this HOV lane. This doesn't include the citation revenue either.
