Apportioned Plate and Vehicle Services in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is one of 49 States that are included in the International Registration Plan (IRP). The plan allows interstate operators to register their vehicles in Pennsylvania rather than having to deal directly with the different states in which they operate. PennDOT will pay the “Apportionable” Fees to the various States and Canadian Provinces the vehicle is operated in based off of the proportion of total distance operated in each State or Province.
Commercial vehicles that operated in two or more jurisdictions and meet the following requirements are considered apportioned vehicles:
- Have three or more axles, regardless of weight.
- Are used in combination, when the gross vehicle weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds.
- Used for the transportation of people for hire or is designed, used , and/or kept primarily for the transport of property.
- Have two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross weight in excess of 26,000 pounds.
Apportioned Vehicle Services are available by appointment. Please call our office to schedule at 215-789-6533.
