PA REDUCED AUTO REGISTRATION
AARP DRIVER SAFETY
PROGRAM
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE $10.00 PROCESSING FEE
If you are 50 years
of age and older, you
know that cars have
changed as well as traffic
regulations, driving
conditions, and the roads
we travel on every day.
The AARP Driver
Safety Program is hosted at the Millcreek Municipal Building
monthly throughout the year.
First-time attendees MUST attend an eight-hour, two-day
course (4 hours each day). If you have previously attended the
course, you are eligible to take a four-hour, one-day “refresher
course.” The course is open to all Millcreek and non-Millcreek
residents.
In these classes, you will learn:
• defensive driving techniques, new traffic laws and rules
• how to deal with aggressive drivers
• how to handle problem situations, such as right-of-way
and blind spots
• how to safely use anti-lock brakes, air bags and seat belts
Best of all, those who complete the course can earn a
discount on their auto insurance. (Please consult your insurance
agent.)
Cost for the program is $15 for AARP members and $20 for
non-members.
Registration is required. For any questions or to register for
the course, call the Public Service Department at 814.833.1111.
Upcoming classes will be held on:
October 9 & 10 Two day course 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
October 11 Refresher Course 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
1. You must be retired and receiving Social Security or other
pension regardless of age. Part-time employment is permitted
if you are retired from your principal occupation. If you receive
only unemployment compensation or public assistance, or are a
student or other individual who is not retired, you do not qualify.
2. Total gross income from all sources must not exceed
$19,200. Other income includes Business/Rental Income, Wages,
Public Assistance and Unemployment Compensation.
3. If only a husband or wife qualify, the vehicle must be titled
and registered in that individual’s name or in both names jointly.
If both husband and wife qualify, each may register one vehicle
for the $10 processing fee. One or both vehicles may be titled
and registered in both names jointly. NOTE: The applicant must
be the principal driver of the vehicle unless physically or mentally
incapable of driving.
4. Only one vehicle, (9,000 lbs. or less), per person may be
registered for the $10 processing fee.
Applications should be submitted when registering your
vehicle and are available in the Public Service Department at
