The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will issue specialty license plates that include the words “Share the Road” and the image of a bicycle or a bicycle with a rider. TxDOT shall design the plates in consultation with the Texas Bicycle Coalition Education Fund.  TBCEF will use the funds to promote bicyclist and motorist safety education.

The fee for issuance of a license plate is $30. This fee is in addition to the standard license plate fees. Of each fee received, TxDOT shall use $8 to defray its administrative costs in complying with the section of the code.

After deduction of the administrative costs, the remainder will be deposited to the credit of the “Share the Road” account in the state treasury to be used only by the Texas Education Agency to support the activities of the Texas Bicycle Coalition Education Fund, the designated nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is to promote bicyclist safety, education and access through:

1.) education and awareness programs;

2.) training, workshops, educational materials, and media events.
