This is a really cool opportunity!

Do any other states offer something similar? I know Florida is notorious for having a ton of specialty plates.

Illinois has offered them for some time. Very distinctive designs, and fun to see.

In Alabama an initial order for a specialty plate is 200. So to get one in the pipeline, you have to get 200 people to pay $50 up front and the design will be on the list. ( my non profit just went thru this process) Currently, I see AKA and DST on the list. No other GLOs.

Virginia does, I know I've seen Delta Sigma Theta Inc, and Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc. plates I think there are other NPHC plates too. Those just happen to be the ones I see more frequently.

Virginia's initial order is 350 plates, too. So 350 people must pay up to two years in advance of the plate being produced. I went through the process with another group, and we found getting that many to pay up front is not an easy thing to do.

It took us about 2 years to get there also....even though we included our vehicles in that AND paid the $50 for all 200 tags! It is harder than you think.

Note Maryland simply requires that the organization is non-profit and has at least 25 members who are Maryland registered Drivers.

At only 200 here and with over 60 employees, hundreds of participant families, us paying the first year $50 fee, it took us 2 years to get it subscribed.`

Currently the only GLO plate available in NJ is for Alpha Kappa Alpha - but I honestly didn't know this was a thing orgs could get! https://www.state.nj.us/mvc/vehicles/alumni.htm

When I lived in Charlotte, NC I saw a lot of AKA and Delta specialty plates.
