Why not have a car license plate that captures the essence of Arizona MTB? And make 25-35% of the plate sales go to a fund to help improve or build the trails? I know Idaho just did it.

Sounds like a good idea to me

Here is a good look at the plate from Idaho....very cool. I would get one.

Awesome. Do it.. I'll buy one.

I just saw on the news last night that the Tea Party is going to have a plate here in AZ.
Wanna say that it costs about $30,000 for the DMV to begin with the process.
Sorry to be a downer

That would be super cool, my idea was a state parks plate and with that plate you were covered for all the park passes in the state.

IL has dozens of decorative license plates that cost more than regular $98 annual plates, the excess of which goes toward a certain fund or charity.

however in AZ dont you pay a vehicle registration tax based on the current value of your vehichle? or is there a separate charge for the actual plate?
12 years ago when i had truck plates (and was into final fantasy), i had CHOCOBO vanity plates.

 

[tonebone2000]

Yes we do pay that registration tax but there's a separate charge when you get a plate

The problem is once the state gets the money, there is no guarantee they will use it as intended. We now have to pay $25 a year to register our offroad motorcycles with the intention/promise of using the money to improve riding areas, but as far as I know, they are now using the money for "general fund".

Pork barrel spending at it's finest.

:thumbsup:
That's the ticket!
But AZ needs copper & guns on the plate, maybe a prospector, a Gila Monster, and a rattler too!

A mountain biker on a copper painted FS in crusty prospector attire with an old Colt on his hip, X'd up stylin' off a jump over a Gila Monster and a Diamondback rattler!
Yeah! that's the ticket. lol

I believe that a certain amount ($17 out of the $25) actually goes to the the organization the plate represents.

Unlike the offroad one that just goes to the government.

[DonRastafari]

Yes, you're right. But, I'm pretty sure that if you give anyone your $25, you will get back less than $1 in action.

Pass, he looks like an all-mountain rider...I'm too leet for that.
