RRRC License Plates
Just wondering what happened with the RRRC license plate offerings from DMV. Are they available?

Good for you, Frank, for stepping up to do this. Go to the DMV site where there is a lot of information in addition to what dog posted. It sounds like the next step is to discuss it at the next board meeting. One question is whether we'd price the plates at $10 or $25. A $25 plate would kick $15 per plate back to the club once 1000 were sold. But if we wanted cooperation from other running clubs we'd need to figure out a fair way to share that. I don't know if the DMV could give us zip code information to help if we go that route. This is something for the board to decide.
Second, and some of you will think I am silly for saying this, but if this moves forward, someone needs to make it clear to people who put the deposit down that the word "RUNNER" obviously won't be printed on the plate. That's where the unique tag number goes, which will be randomly assigned unless you pay $10 for your own vanity plate combination, such as the "DON RUNS" mentioned above. Notice that the word "SAMPLE" appears on the DMV site for other special plates, and perhaps the sample plate should be reworked with that word on it so nobody is disappointed.

me too, I am sure we'd get well over 2000 people interested.

Just a thought but since this process appears to have been at least a year ago(new webite has been used at least a year?) , should the plate design selection be revisited?
If plates are generic for all clubs/runners, vs a RRRC plate, not sure how the revenue $25 option would be worked out based on DMV and General Assembly requirements? But someone at DMV can provide more information I'm sure.
FYI - there are specialty plates for Biking, bowling, Harley owners and even Parrothead Motorcycles!!

I think it should bot just be for RRRC but maybe all running clubs in VA, we miht want to reach out to RTC and some tri clubs as well since many of their members are runners as well.

Here's a recent story from the RTD about the James River Park System's specialty plates:

The concept we had was to do a running plate for all of VA. From my memory (which isn't too good sometimes) Tony was going to handle this for us. There was some limitations on if we could get the money. I think the rules require us to be a stock corporation to receive the funds. Tony could help with this. If we could get the excess funds, we could use it for the scholarship fund.

Ed, the rules require you to be a 501(c)(3) to receive the excess funds.

We are a 501c3 entity.

501c - that was my issue with the revenue plates with a $25 fee. If proposed as a statewide runner's plate, then what organization would file? Do they require one organization per plate?
Doubt other runners would want their $15 going to RRRC only?
I certainly would not want it under the national road runners club banner. But you can still do the $10 non-revenue plate for all of the state. The $15/plate revenue only kicks in after 1000 sold so that probably eliminates any benefit of doing a RRRC plate? Or get 350 commitments on a RRRC non-revenue plate?
Does anyone know whether the JR Park System qualified as a 501c or under a political/state entity approved status for the revenue sharing plates?
(And yes, I am the question man, not the answer man?)
