PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Social media posts have recently circulated online, claiming Pennsylvania is ending annual vehicle inspections on January 1, 2025.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's (PennDOT) most recent Vehicle Safety Inspection Program Effectiveness Study, vehicle safety inspections in the U.S. started in 1926. By 1929, Pennsylvania enacted laws requiring periodic inspections.
Currently, all registered vehicles in Pennsylvania must be inspected either semiannually or annually, according to PennDOT. Noncommercial private vehicles are required to be inspected once a year.
