Ecoplates

For just $50 more than the standard registration fee, you can support the preservation and restoration of two of California's national treasures: the California coast and Lake Tahoe. Purchasing a Whale Tail or a Lake Tahoe environmental license plate for yourself or as a gift is great way to show your support for the environment while making a real difference in environmental causes in California.

The funds generated from ecoplate sales directly benefit environmental restoration, recreation, and coastal and marine education programs. The DMV distributes funds from the sale of ecoplates to the California Coastal Commission or the California Tahoe Conservancy and to the California State Environmental License Plate Fund.
