Organizational Specialty Plates Options

[Tigawoods]

So i got mad this morning that the SCCA doesn't have a specialty plate in MD. Then I preceded to look at the Maryland Department of transportation to see what organizations offered plates in the state.

nada that were associated with anything I do.

Then I thought. What if a forum (like 6gc) had a specialty plate. And what is needed to be able to apply for such a thing.
I believe the majority of the organizations that have the plates have annual fees

thoughts?




edit:
found this on the PA DMV site


The Specialty Plate Program allows approved organizations to advocate their interests, charge a fee above the $20.00 PennDOT fee and provides for a distinctive license plate.

Specialty Plates are manufactured in our standard plate colors - blue, white, and yellow. The organization's name appears across the bottom of the plate and "Pennsylvania" is printed across the top of the plate. The 3" x 3" canvas area on the left side of the plate displays the organization's emblem or logo using graphic printing that offers color and intricacy of detail.

Specialty Plates are currently available for passenger cars, motor homes and trucks with a registered gross weight of 10,000 pounds or less. Specialty Plates are not available for motorcycles and trailers.

To qualify for the Specialty Plate Program, an organization must meet the following criteria:

-Be a Non-profit organization;
-Have as one of its primary purposes, services to the community, which results in a contribution to the welfare of others;
-Be based, headquartered, have a chapter or licensed in Pennsylvania;
-Not be offensive in purpose, nature, activity or name, as determined by the Department;
-Guaranteed a minimum of applications (negotiable) before any plate will be produced.

but that's for hte state of PA, sadly not everyone lives there, how would we go about something more broad ?
I definately like the idea, but we need to evolve it into something everyone can take advantage off.

Thats true. A few groups have plates in many states, but like the SCCA plate, it is only available in PA (maybe a couple others)
