The most iconic bridge in North Carolina is under threat of being replaced with a toll bridge.

We are creating awareness for this iconic bridge by creating a North Carolina vanity license plate. This plate will be presented on the 2022 legislative session for final approval. Once it is approved it will be available for anyone to purchase through the NCDMV.

Our intent is to set the plate price at $15. This is $5 more dollars above the state minimum of $10. This extra $5 will be allocated towards ensuring the viability of our bridge long into the future, engaging our Legislators, the Federal DOT, the state DOT, and our Municipal and Urban Planning Organizations.
