Pennsylvania AMA Members Can Get Special AMA Car Plates
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- American Motorcyclist Association (AMA)
members in Pennsylvania can now show their support for
motorcycling and the AMA with special automotive license
plates, the AMA reports.
The distinctive plates will be produced and distributed after
300 applications are received. More than 75 people have
already applied for the special plates.
Working with state Rep. Teresa Forcier (R-Crawford) and the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the AMA has been
successful in creating the special plates, which feature the
AMA's logo as well as the words "American Motorcyclist Assn."
"It's been a pleasure to work with the AMA and PENNDOT on this
project," Forcier said. "With this new license plate,
motorcyclists will be able to proudly display their love of
motorcycles while driving their automobiles.
"Although this has been a long time coming, I am proud to have
been able to fight to get this approved," she said. "The
success of our efforts shows the power of partnership to
accomplish goals."
The plates are available for passenger vehicles, trucks and
motorhomes for a one-time extra fee of $20, which goes to the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. The plates are not
currently available for motorcycles, but if there is enough
interest in the car plates the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation may be convinced to make them available for
motorcycles and trailers as well.
To get an application for these special plates, Pennsylvania
AMA members should contact Sharon Titus in the AMA's
Government Relations Department at (614) 856-1900, ext. 1252;
or by e-mail at:
stitus@ama-cycle.org.
