S 3045 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes special parking for hybrid, electric, and alternative fuel vehicles.

New Jersey's S 3045 requires parking facilities with 100+ public spaces to set aside 5% of spots for hybrid, electric, and alternative fuel vehicles. These designated spaces must be the most accessible (but not closer than handicap spots), marked with green paint and signs reading "Hybrid and Alternatives Parking Only." Vehicle owners must obtain a state-issued window sticker meeting specific fuel efficiency standards (45 MPG initially, then 163% of federal CAFE standards) to legally use these spots, with violations punishable by up to $250 fines. The 10-year pilot program mandates annual review of eligible vehicles and requires the Motor Vehicle Commission to report on implementation to the Legislature.
