Missouri Specialty License Plate to promote Bicycling

Many bicyclists across Missouri have been interested in creating a specialty license plate with a message in support of bicycling in Missouri and safely sharing the road with bicyclists.

These plates will be similar to "share the road" plates from other states.

By filling out this form, you are indicating an interest in purchasing the plates but NOT making a definite commitment to purchase the plates. We will contact you when the plates become available.

2218 people have signed up so far. We would like to have (at least!) 4000 interested people sign up by May 30, 2008.

Background

How much will the plates cost?
The specialty license plates will cost approximately $45 per year in addition to the regular vehicle licensing fees. The majority of the extra fee will go to support the Missouri Bicycle Federation's bicycle safety activities in Missouri.

When will the plates be available for purchase?
The earliest the plates can get through the complex legislative and administrative process for approval is Fall 2009. If anything goes wrong it could be delayed by a year or two.

How much does it the approval process cost?
MoBikeFed will need to put up $5000 by June 30th, 2008, to cover the initial setup fees and costs. Donations to help us cover that cost are much appreciated!

How do the plates work in other states?
Other states have had "share the road with bicycles" license plates for years.

A portion of the proceeds from the specialty license plates goes to support a bicycle advocacy organization in each of these states.

Can I help find the 2000 supporters?
