(a) This section provides for exemptions for certain vehicles, to be issued by the Division of Reliability and Security staff, in consultation with the Division of Energy, from the odd/even restrictions on sales of motor fuel at N.J.A.C. 14:29-6.2.

1. The exemption is necessary in order to maintain critical community services, such as meals on wheels or senior citizen transport;

2. The exemption is necessary to enable a licensed health care professional to perform their work;

3. The exemption is necessary to maintain operation of a commuter van pool that is recognized by the New Jersey Department of Transportation; or

4. Both of the following criteria are met:

i. The exemption will result in clear, tangible, and critical benefits to the community; and

ii. Compliance with the odd/even restrictions on motor fuel will interfere with the community benefit that would otherwise result from use of the vehicle.
