Illinois now has permanent, year-round “Share the Road” specialty license plates! Make a statement when you drive – and make cycling safer at the same time. These great-looking plates (by Bryan Werner of Collinsville) deliver a key message while raising money in a new fund specifically for LIB’s bicyclist and motorist education efforts.

The State will begin production when 1500 reservations have been received. Reserve your plates today! Here’s how:

Fill out the reservation form [pdf] (one per car) and a check for $17 (per car) to “Secretary of State”. Mail to LIB, 2550 Cheshire Dr., Aurora, IL 60504. We will forward completed forms and checks to the Secretary of State. The state deposits the $17 into the education fund.
When 1500 is reached, you’ll be notified to finish your order through the Secretary of State. An additional $34 includes a one-time switchover fee and the state’s share of the first year’s fee. The plates will be sent to you.
Each year afterwards, the Secretary of State will send a renewal form (like you currently get), but for $22 above the cost of standard plates. $20 of this goes to the education fund.

Help us reach the 1500 threshold as soon as possible - please pass the word to your cycling friends!
