Pa. announces new military license plates
The Shapiro administration has announced a new selection of military-themed license plates are available. Recently passed legislation allows the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to offer Pennsylvanians six new license plates honoring military veterans.
“These plates are yet another opportunity to show our appreciation for the sacrifices of our military members and their families,” said PennDOT Deputy Secretary for Driver and Vehicle Services Kara Templeton. “As always, we are proud to recognize our military community and their accomplishments.”
Three of the new plates recognize service members who received medals or honors for individual achievements or deployments. The plates are available for use on passenger cars or trucks with a registered gross weight of not more than 14,000 pounds.
These plates are:
• Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal Registration Plate: Applicants must submit a completed MV-150, “Application for U.S. Military Service Registration Plate,” and a legible photocopy of their Form DD-214 indicating they were awarded the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.

The other three new plate designs recognize women veterans:
