Dose anyone no when the Inspection department changed from the Pennsylvania department of REVENUE too the department of TRANSPORTATION

The PADOT was created in 1970 so it was then or shortly after. PADOT took over the Dept of Highways as well but Higways did not handle vehicle licensing. Vehicle licensiing was handled by Dept of Revenue from 1929. 1970 is a bit of a guess on the assumption it was one of the reasons the DOT was formed. Any any rate, it was not before 1970 because the DOT did not exist.

Act 120 of 1970 created the Department of Transportation, effective July 1, 1970...The Department assumed all of the powers and duties formerly performed by the Department of Highways; the Bureaus of Motor Vehicles and Traffic Safety in the Department of Revenue; the Mass Transit Division in the Department of Community Affairs; and the Aeronautics Commission in the Department of Military Affairs. Of special importance among these responsibilities are those relating to certificates of title, licensing of operators, registration and licensing of motor vehicles, administrative enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Code including the Point System, and administration of aviation and airport development programs within the Commonwealth.
