I like the idea of bus lanes on H or I, but how about an even more radical idea: close off H Street to private cars completely and turn it into a bus-way, with bus-only lanes running in each direction. As many crosstown buses as possible could be rerouted on the H Street busway, and buses would zip through downtown. Enforcement would a lot easier because it wouldn't be a matter of checking which lane a driver is in - drivers shouldn't enter the street at all.
Drivers wouldn't like this too much, at first, but with all the security barriers near the White House, H street isn't a very good route for cars anyway. And if it takes the buses off I street, it might make that street better for drivers.
