Maryland "Share the Road" License Plates

Part of the mission of WABA is to promote safe cycling. Another is to share our enthusiasm about all things cycling. As part of those efforts, we are proud to announce the potential for cycling related license plates for your other mode of transportation, your car, minvan or SUV.

We can obtain State of Maryland organizational license plates that will show our support for safe cycling and to remind other drivers to share the road with cyclists . These will be official State issued plates that will replace the current plates you have on your car.

Join WABA at the discounted rate of $25 to qualify for the plates.
