The Share the Road license plate bill successfully passed the House and now heads to the Governor! This is fantastic news for bicyclists because the Share the Road license plate will generate funds to promote bicycle safety on Colorado's roads.
Thanks to House sponsor Terrance Carroll and Senate sponsor Greg Brophy for their leadership on this bill. And special thanks go to the thousands of Colorado bicyclists who signed on in support. We hope the Governor will sign this legislation this spring. Then license plate ordering information will soon follow with the initial run of plates ready early 2008. We'll keep you posted.
