52 Pa. Code § 1055.3 - Limousine age and mileage parameters

(a) Method of age computation. The age of a limousine will be determined by comparing its model year to the current model year.

(b) Age. A vehicle which is more than 10 years old may not continue in operation as a limousine, except that the Director may authorize the operation of antique vehicles as limousines upon review of a petition for waiver as provided in § 1005.23 (relating to petitions for issuance, amendment, repeal or waiver of Authority regulations) and completion of a compliance inspection. For example, the last day on which a 2009 model year vehicle may be operated in limousine service is December 31, 2019.

(c) Mileage.

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a vehicle shall be removed from limousine service prior to the date the cumulative mileage registered on the vehicle's odometer reaches 350,000 miles.

(2) The owner of a vehicle with a model year of 5 or less that is otherwise precluded from continued Philadelphia limousine service under paragraph (1) may continue in service for 1 year upon the successful completion of a compliance inspection.

(d) Imputed mileage.

(1) A vehicle with an odometer reading that differs from the number of miles the vehicle has actually traveled or that has had a prior history involving the disconnection or malfunctioning of an odometer or which appears to the Authority to have an inaccurate odometer reading based on prior inspection records will be assigned an imputed mileage for each month from the last reliable odometer recording through the date of inspection, as provided in paragraph (2). A certificate holder may seek review of the determination to assign imputed mileage as provided in § 1005.24 (relating to appeals from actions of the staff).

(2) The imputed mileage will be calculated by adding the mileage of the vehicle recorded at the two most recent State inspections or two most recent compliance inspections, or a combination of any two, and dividing that sum by 24. The quotient is the imputed monthly mileage.

(3) Unless otherwise provided by the Authority, a vehicle may not be introduced for limousine service or continue in limousine service if a reliable baseline odometer reading cannot be ascertained.

(e) Reporting of odometer malfunctions. A certificate holder or limousine driver who knows or suspects that the odometer reading of a limousine differs from the number of miles the limousine has actually traveled shall disclose that status to the Enforcement Department immediately.
