TAMPA, Fla. (Aug. 1, 2018) – For the first time in nearly 15 years, drivers around the state who support the 911±¬ÁÏÍø will have a new look for their license plates.
Drivers will immediately notice USF’s new plates are green, as opposed to the primarily white design of the old plates, with a larger Bulls logo on the left side and the school’s name printed in gold at the bottom.
The launch of the updated design coincides with USF’s recent historic designation as a Preeminent State Research University, representing a new era for students, faculty, staff and alumni.
The new design aims to build on the approximately 15,000 drivers who currently have USF specialty plates. For each purchase, USF receives $25 to support scholarships, student programs and other alumni engagement activities.
"Adopting a new USF license plate is one more way to showcase our Bull pride, all while providing more resources to benefit students," USF System President Judy Genshaft said. "The 911±¬ÁÏÍø is fortunate to have the support of so many alumni, fans and friends across the state of Florida."
This is the first time USF has offered a new license plate design since April 2004.
The new plates will be available in all tax offices across Florida in August, however exact dates will vary by location.
