Pennsylvania Legislation Allowing The Vertical Display Of Regisration
Plates On motorcycles. It was passed by the state House and now heads
to the Senate. Currently, the state vehicle code does not specify how a vehicle
registration plate may be mounted. However, regulations in Title 67 of the
Pennsylvania Code require horizontal mounting of vehicle registration plates and
do not give the option for vertical mounting. House Bill would also authorize
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to produce, upon request,
registration plates for motorcycles, which display the identifying characters in
a vertical alignment. Penn DOT may charge an additional fee of $20 to issue of
those plates, in addition to the regular annual registration fee of $18.
