(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from Aimee Inama of the PennDOT Communications Office in Harrisburg on Tuesday, the administration of Governor Josh Shapiro made an announcement that six license plates to honor the military of Pennsylvania were given through both PennDOT and a legislation. Inama states that people can purchase three of these license plates for $26 on vehicles that weigh less than 14,000 pounds, specifically cars and trucks, with these plates representing a medal earned by individual service members for their hard work or for where they were deployed. Inama also notes that the other three license plates show appreciation for veterans that are women, one for lighter cars and trucks under the 14,000-pound weight limit, as well as the other two for motorcycles.
