Washington recently joined a handful of other states offering specialty license plates
featuring the "Share the Road" message. The Bicycle Alliance of Washington, the only
state wide voice for bicyclists, worked with the Washington State Department of Licensing on the
design and approval process. The idea of the plates is to raise awareness of bicyclists'
rights to safely use the road.
The plates can only be purchased from the Department of Licensing for $40.00 plus any applicable fees.
The Bicycle Alliance will receive $28.00 from each plate sold and renewed. The
twenty-eight dollars are tax deductible. The Alliance will use the proceeds to fund safety
and education programs, including providing mini grants to schools and community groups to
fund programs and projects.
