No, Pennsylvania state vehicle inspections are not stopping in 2025

Reported by fox43.com - August 13, 2024

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.

EPA car rule to push huge increase in EV sales

EPA car rule to push huge increase in EV sales

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration will propose strict new automobile pollution limits this week that would require at least 54% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030 and as many as two of every three by 2032, according to industry and environmental officials briefed on the plan.

The proposed regulation, to be released Wednesday by the Environmental Protection Agency, would set greenhouse gas emissions limits for the 2027 through 2032 model years for passenger vehicles that would be even stricter than goals the auto industry agreed to in 2021.
