Arizona specialty license plates have 2 clear winners

Posted

There were more than 770,000 specialty license plates ordered  by Arizona drivers in 2022, and the Arizona Department of Transportation has listed the top 10.

Leading the list at No. 1 and 2, respectively, are plates showing support for veterans and first responders.

The result was not surprising, ADOT officials said.

“Veterans plates were once again the most popular in 2022,” ADOT officials said.

“There are many different plates for Arizona veterans and their immediate family members, including for each branch of the military.”

The profits from the plates go toward a special fund to benefit veterans in the state, officials said.

ADOT gives drivers in the state dozens of plates from which to choose and about 67,000 more of them were ordered in 2022 than the previous year.

The top 10 are:

  1. Veterans
  2. First Responders
  3. Arizona Highways
  4. Arizona Cardinals
  5. Military/Freedom
  6. Route 66
  7. Arizona State University
  8. University of Arizona
  9. Golden Rule
  10. “In God We Trust”

Four new specialty plates – Arizona Rodeo, Make-A-Wish Arizona, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary Arizona – became available in December of 2021 and four more were introduced during 2022: Arizona Education, Congenital Heart Defect Awareness, Thunderbirds Charities and Arizona 4-H.

Specialty plates cost $25 for an initial fee and annual renewal, with $17 of the fee going directly to the charitable organization. For more: azmvdnow.gov.
