Connecticut’s special interest license plates (those formatted differently than standard plates) generally fall into three categories: (1) those created by legislative mandate, with most of the fee revenue designated for a specified purpose (e.g., preserving Long Island Sound); (2) college, university, and organization logo plates, which use the standard format but include a logo or legend; and (3) special status plates (e.g., Prisoner of War plates).
The report does not consider such other non-standard license plates as (1) low number plates (those numbered 1 to 10000), (2) vanity plates, or (3) Early American (antique) plates.
For FY 2014 (through March 31) the top three revenue producing special interest license plates were:
- Long Island Sound ($87,025),
- UConn ($27,000), and
- United We Stand ($10,920).
