How many non-IM (Inspection and Maintenance) counties are there in Pennsylvania?

  1. 5

  2. 7

  3. 9

  4. 11

The correct answer is: 9

The correct count of non-IM counties in Pennsylvania is nine. Non-IM counties are those that do not participate in the Inspection and Maintenance program, which is designed primarily for emissions testing. These counties may be rural areas or regions with lower population density where the implementation of such programs may be deemed unnecessary due to the generally lower levels of vehicle emissions and air pollution. This information is crucial for understanding the broader context of emissions regulations in Pennsylvania, particularly how the IM program impacts urban versus rural areas. Being familiar with the specific number of non-IM counties helps inspectors understand the operational landscape of emissions testing and compliance within the state.
