In the near future, I will introduce legislation that would require all vehicles registered in the Commonwealth to display a license plate on both the front and rear of their vehicle.

Far too often there are hit-and-run accidents, traffic incidents, or crimes committed where only the front of a vehicle is captured by cameras or witnesses. Requiring a license plate on the front of a car will improve vehicle identification and enhance public safety by helping law enforcement officers, witnesses, or cameras more easily and quickly identify a vehicle. A front license plate can also improve toll collections.

There are currently 29 other states that require a license plate on both the front and rear of all vehicles, including our neighboring states of New York, New Jersey, and Maryland. There is also bipartisan legislation pending in Florida that would require a front and rear registration plate. 

My legislation would require that all registered vehicles in Pennsylvania display both a rear license plate and a front license plate. 

Please join me in cosponsoring this important legislation.
