  • Penndot Fact Sheet
    FACT SHEET Van/Mini-Van Titling and Registration Procedures PURPOSE This fact sheet explains the titling and registration procedures for van and mini-van type vehicles being titled and registered in Pennsylvania. DEFINITIONS Motor home: A motor vehicle designed or adapted for use as mobile dwelling or office; except a motor vehicle equipped with a truck-camper. Passenger Car: A motor vehicle, except a motorcycle, designed primarily for the transportation of persons and designed for carrying no more than 15 passengers including the driver and primarily used for the transportation of persons. The term includes motor vehicles which are designed with seats that may be readily removed and reinstalled, but does not include such vehicles if used primarily for the transportation of property. Truck: A motor vehicle designed primarily for the transportation of property. The term includes motor vehicles designed with seats that may be readily removed and reinstalled if those vehicles are primarily used for the transportation of property. GENERAL RULE Van and mini-van type vehicles are designed by vehicle manufacturers to be used in a multitude of different ways. Many vans are designed with seats for the transportation of persons much like a normal passenger car or station wagon; however, some are manufactured for use as a motor home, while others are designed simply for the transportation of property. Therefore, the proper type of registration plate depends on how the vehicle is to be primarily used. The following rules should help clarify the proper procedures required to title and register a van/mini-van: To register as a passenger car - The van/mini-van must be designed with seating for no more than 15 passengers including the driver, and used for non-commercial purposes.

    May 4th 2020 Written evidence submitted by Money Mail (COV0131) Dear Sir/Madam, The Daily Mail’s personal finance section Money Mail has compiled a dossier of readers’ letters that we hope you will find useful to your inquiry into food supply in the Covid-19 pandemic. We first published a story on Wednesday, April 22, detailing the problems some classed as ‘clinically vulnerable’ were having securing a supermarket delivery in the lockdown. We then received hundreds of emails and letters from readers sharing their experiences. This was one of the biggest responses we have received to a story in recent memory. Money Mail then ran another story the following Wednesday (April 29th) sharing more reader stories and calling on supermarkets to do more to help. In this story, we told readers that their letters (with personal details removed) would be sent to the Efra inquiry. The pages that follow, we have included more 300 of the letters and emails we received in response to our coverage of the issue. Regards, The Money Mail team, Daily Mail 1. My husband and I are having to shield but unfortunately like most other people in similar circumstances, do not meet the very limited criteria set out by the Government for assistance with Food Deliveries. One has to ask why do so many able bodied people clap and cheer for the NHS Staff from their door steps on a Thursday evening yet a great many of them go online to do their Grocery Shopping booking a Home Delivery Slot?
