New Jersey Exemptions from Requirements/Restrictions
High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane Exemption
New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) allows hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) to travel in the HOV lanes on the New Jersey Turnpike. Permitted AFVs must operate on electricity, methanol, ethanol, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen, coal derived liquid fuels, or fuels derived from biological materials. Any other federally approved AFVs are also permitted to utilize the NJTA's HOV lanes. For a complete list of eligible HEVs see the New Jersey Turnpike Authority Web site.
