License Plate Petition

Ohio law allows organizations to create special license plates that feature their logo or other identifying information.  Every time a motorist orders such a tag, that organization receives a portion (typically $15) of the license plate fee.

Not only would a Glen Helen license plate provide a source of needed revenue, it would allow supporters to spread awareness for this special place.

Every car needs a license plate – why not make a difference with your purchase!

                             

HOW IT WORKS

To participate in the Special Plate Program of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, we are required to accomplish two items: 

1)  To show community support, we are required to obtain 1,000 signatures of Ohio motorists who support the idea of establishing a Glen Helen plate.

2)  The Ohio State Legislature must pass a bill authorizing creation of the special Glen Helen license plates.  We are fortunate to have the support of State Representative Chris Widener, whose district includes Glen Helen.  Representative Widener has agreed to sponsor a bill for the special license plates once our petition drive is complete. 

Once the Glen Helen plate has been authorized by the State Legislature, any Ohio motorist will be able to order it for their vehicles.  We will have to sell 1,000 plates each year to stay active in the program.

Signing this petition will help us establish the bill to create a Glen Helen license plate.  It suggests your reasonable intent to purchase these plates, not a strict mandate (though we hope to have your support!). You can sign up multiple cars belonging to one driver as long as you supply each plate number.  Passenger vehicles, noncommercial trucks, and motor homes are all eligible for enrollment.   

Unfortunately, we recently discovered that signatures collected online will not be accepted by the DMV, so we no longer offer our online petition.  However, a printable petition is available here, or you can sign up in person at the Glen Building and Trailside Museum.
