Starting today, hybrid vehicles are allowed to travel in the HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) lanes of the New Jersey Turnpike regardless of how many passengers are in the car. This is a nice non-monetary incentive to switching to a hybrid vehicle. During rush hours, the HOV lanes are practically empty while the other lanes are backed up, bumper to bumper.
Here’s a list of the cars that are now allowed to travel in the HOV lanes:
- Ford Escape Hybrid
- Honda Civic Hybrid
- Honda Insight
- Honda Accord Hybrid
- Lexus RX400H Hybrid
- Mazda Tribute Hybrid
- Mercury Mariner Hybrid
- Toyota Prius
- Toyota Highlander Hybrid
State Police, who have a tendency of not being very forgiving, will be on the lookout for those who brea the HOV rules.
