As reported in an earlier post, the State of Illinois, in partnership with the League of Illinois Bicyclists (LIB), created a specialty “Share the Road” license plate, the sale of which will provide funds for LIB’s statewide educational campaigns to teach both cyclists and motorists how to share the roads more respectfully, lawfully, and safely.

LIB received the necessary 1,500 reservations needed to begin the production process and, after the State’s design and production process approvals, “Share the Road” license plates should begin to appear on cars by May or June of 2012.  Congratulations to the League of Illinois Bicyclists!
