Local automobile enthusiasts in North Dakota are seeking alternative ways to express their individuality while still abiding by state regulations. They've shared, time and time again, a desire for personalized license plates, just not in the way you might imagine: they're asking for color options. They want the freedom to choose solid black, or any other color plate backgrounds, to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their vehicles.

This request may seem inconsequential to some, but for our community of passionate car lovers, it represents a small but important personal freedom. It's a way to showcase our dynamism, our diversity, our personal tastes. We believe that state regulations should reflect the diversity of the people they serve.

The precedent for such an allowance already exists. For instance, Colorado, California, and Georgia, allow custom license plates configurations, including distinct colors (source: DMV.org). A similar option in North Dakota wouldn't just appease the local automobile enthusiasts, but could also generate additional revenue for the state.

Over 4.1 million custom license plates are purchased each year across the U.S, generating significant income for states (source: American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators).

So, we urge the North Dakota Department of Transportation to consider allowing custom plate color options. It's a small change that will bring joy to many and could provide additional revenue for our state. Sign this petition to help bring color to the roads of North Dakota and to show your support for individuality and personal expression.
