Good news for Pennsylvania motorcycle owners -- thanks to Act 149 of 2024, motorcycles can now be inspected year-round just like passenger vehicles. Previously, inspections were limited to March through October, but now, motorcyclists have the flexibility to schedule their inspection at any time of the year.

Annual motorcycle inspections are still required, and once your bike passes, the new safety inspection sticker will be valid for one year from the expiration of the previous sticker.

Visit PennDOT’s Motorcycle Safety webpage for more information.

The PA Invasive Replace-ive Program is a new initiative that will give homeowners and others the option to remove invasive trees and shrubs from their property and replace them with native plants. Doing so helps reduce the likelihood of these species becoming unwanted “escapees” into neighboring properties, parks, and forests.  

Properties owners are encouraged to remove one or more invasive species and receive up to 5 FREE healthy, native, young replacement trees. Program events begin in May. Learn more here.
