SHARE THE ROAD
LICENSE PLATE
Fit Families for Cenla was able to design, and fund the launching of, a Share the Road license plate for the State of Louisiana. These Share the Road license plates are available for purchase. The cost is only $25 more than the regular renewal fee.
The funds received from the plates support improvements to biking/pedestrian safety in Louisiana through activities such as road signage throughout the State on roads frequently traveled by cyclists.
