Am I exempt from New Jersey’s idling requirements if my vehicle has been designated by CARB as a “Certified Clean Idle” vehicle?
The “Certified Clean Idle” designation and accompanying sticker apply to diesel vehicles of model year 2008 or newer, which are sold with diesel particulate filters. In California, no idling beyond 5 minutes is allowed, including idling for sleeper berth use, so vehicles with the “Certified Clean Idle” sticker are allowed to idle while the driver is using the sleeper berth only. In New Jersey, vehicles with this sticker are allowed to idle beyond 3 minutes ONLY while the driver is sleeping or resting in the sleeper berth pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:27-14.3(b)7 or if the vehicle qualifies for one of the listed exemptions specifically detailed in the idling regulation (http://www.state.nj.us/dep/aqm/Sub14_Rule.pdf). Please note that this sleeper berth exemption will no longer apply after May 1, 2010. 17. Who can enforce the regulations besides DEP? Nearly all local health departments have been delegated authority to enforce the Department’s air regulations, which include the idling standards.
