Share the Road Plates
Do you drive a car? Do you ride a bicycle on the road? Do you have friends or employees that are cyclists? The state of Ohio offers a special license plate for cyclists and friends of cycling. This license plate can be a unique gift idea for a friend, an employee or yourself!
On Wednesday, December 22, 2004, Governor Bob Taft signed the Share the Road license plate into law as part of House Bill 406. This law culminates five years of efforts by the Ohio Bicycle Federation to create an auto license plate which will publicize the importance of motorists sharing Ohio's roads with bicyclists.
Get your SHARE THE ROAD plates before it is too late...
Goal: To sell 1000 plates each calendar year. Why this goal? Because the State of Ohio will cease issuing the license plates unless 1,000 are sold each calendar year, January 1 through December 31. Thus, to insure future availability, the Ohio Bicycle Federation has set this annual goal. The funds generated by the sale of this plates are used for publication of the valuable bicycling safety pamphlet, Ohio Bicycling Street Smarts. So it's important for all of us to buy or renew the special plates, and encourage others to do likewise.
As it is a special plate there is an additional cost over the standard renewal fee, however please consider supporting bicyclist/motorist education by purchasing this license plate. The Ohio Bicycle Federation reports for the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 there were 919, 1,546, 1,805, 2,092, and 2,137 Share the Road license plates sold, respectively, for a total of 8,499 plates in all. This has brought in $31,810 for the publication of Ohio Bicycling Street Smarts, at $5 per plate! 929 plates have been sold in 2010 through June 1.
