PHOENIX – In time for National Autism Acceptance Month, the Arizona Department of Transportation has released a new specialty license plate.

The plate joins a list that now has 106 options that Arizonans can purchase to support a variety of causes.

ADOT also announced that the National Guard specialty plate has been redesigned and is now available for motorcycles.

Most specialty plates cost $25 each year. Of that amount, $17 goes to a designated charity or nonprofit group. During fiscal year 2024, sales of specialty plates contributed more than $13 million to various causes and charities, and the program is on pace to exceed that this fiscal year, according to ADOT. 

Money raised by the autism plate will assist Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center and First Place AZ.

“This initiative represents a powerful statement for our state and a milestone moment for Arizonans impacted by autism,” SARRC President/CEO Daniel Openden said.

“We’re also proud to showcase the original artwork of Joe Bradley - an accomplished artist on the autism spectrum and a founding member of our Self-Advocate Advisory Board - whose creativity and talent bring this license plate to life.”

Sales from the National Guard plate supports programs and services for the men, women, families and mission of the Arizona National Guard.
