Which agency oversees the Maryland State Inspection program?

The Maryland State Inspection program is overseen by the Maryland Department of Transportation. This agency is responsible for ensuring that the transportation system in Maryland operates effectively and safely. One of the key areas of its responsibility is vehicle safety inspections, which are conducted to ensure that vehicles meet state safety standards before they can be registered and operated on public roads.

The Maryland Department of Transportation coordinates the inspection program to maintain uniformity and compliance with state laws. This involves managing the regulations concerning vehicle safety and emissions to protect both public safety and the environment.

The other agencies mentioned have different roles: the Maryland State Police focuses on law enforcement and public safety, while the Maryland Vehicle Administration is involved predominantly in vehicle registration and titling, and the Maryland Department of the Environment handles environmental protection, rather than vehicle safety inspections.
