Operating an unregistered e-scooter is cited under PA Vehicle Code sec. 1301(a). The base fine is $25, but additional charges—EMS $20 (earmarked to support Emergency Medical Services), state surcharge $45 (to the State General Fund), court costs $51.50, and JCP/ATJ $36.75 (state computer system maintenance)—bring the total to $178.25. Chief Stephen L. Margeson of the Camp Hill Police Department notes that the municipality has no control over these added fees.
