Temporary Vehicle Use Application
An EMS agency may operate a temporary replacement EMS vehicle without securing prior approval from the Department. It shall submit a temporary replacement vehicle form to the regional EMS council through which its license application was processed, by completing the form below before putting the EMS vehicle in service. In the form, the EMS agency shall attest to the fact that the EMS vehicle satisfies the requirements for that type of EMS vehicle that are imposed by regulation and notices published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Upon submitting a temporary replacement vehicle form, the EMS agency may continue to operate the temporary replacement EMS vehicle unless its authority to do so is disapproved by the inspector following an inspection of the EMS vehicle.
Upon receiving a temporary replacement vehicle form, the regional EMS council shall issue a temporary certificate which authorizes the EMS agency to operate the temporary replacement EMS vehicle for seven (7) days based upon its attestation that the vehicle satisfies all requirements.
A temporary vehicle not currently licensed with an EMS agency that is to be utilized for more than seven (7) days must be inspected by the regional EMS council. Upon successful inspection, a new temporary certificate will be issued.
A temporary vehicle is a vehicle NOT owned by the EMS agency that is utilizing it.
