New CA Bicycle License Plate

The Department of Motor Vehicles will begin issuing the California bicycle license plate after collecting 7,500 pre-paid applications.

Your purchase of the California Bike Plate will generate grants to promote cycling as a physical activity, fund bike skill development and nutrition education at the elementary school level and create safe places to ride through cycling advocacy. Grants will also support earn-a-bike programs for at-risk youth, middle and high school programs, promote bicycles as transportation and conduct safety and share the road education programs for drivers and cyclists. Grants will be available to statewide coalitions, community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, county health departments and other organizations.

Plus if 60 or more La Grange members order plates, then La Grange can be recognized as an official “Bike For A Healthy California” sponsor. Let’s support safe cycling in California!
