Virginians can now protect the national park in their backyard with an attractive new license plate featuring the scenic beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
It’s the only specialty plate in the commonwealth dedicated to supporting projects and programs that enhance and preserve the country’s most visited national park.
The Parkway is free to enjoy all year long, and it welcomed more than 16.5 million visitors in 2023. Unlike many large national parks, the Parkway charges no entrance fees, making it difficult to fund the maintenance of campgrounds, overlooks, trails, information centers, and historical sites that attract visitors. These Parkway travelers play a large role in boosting the economies of neighboring communities.
Virginians who order the plate can feel proud knowing proceeds from the $25 fee will go toward key improvements within the national park, from trail repairs to historic preservation projects, through the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. You can also order a personalized plate for $35.
The specialty plate is a powerful way for Virginians to help ensure the Parkway receives the attention it needs and deserves.
