Everyone’s got a reason to love the Bay Area. Hiking in the redwoods, playing at the beach, strolling the Embarcadero, picnicking at the park – the Bay Area is naturally vibrant. We need your help to protect and restore our special places. You can invest in the Bay Area’s future by signing up for a new license plate that features an iconic image of the Golden Gate Bridge and the tagline “Nature Within Reach.”

With your help, the Bay Area special license plate will be issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles in the second half of 2009. Proceeds from the sale and renewal of the plate will directly fund restoration, conservation, and public access projects throughout the bay area.

The Bay Area special license plate campaign needs 7,500 paid pledges to become a
reality. The plates cost $50 for initial registration ($90 for personalized plates), with a $40 annual renewal fee ($70 for personalized plates). The goal is eventually to raise $1 million per year via the license plate and have more than 25,000 of the plates in circulation.
