-
EV plates can be exchanged for Shaka Plates, but the Shaka Plate does not show “EV” thus Act 168 EV exemptions for parking meters and HOV lane use do not apply. See EV laws here »
- New vehicles with temporary paper plates, bring the paper plates to exchange for Shaka Plates.
- Motorcycles are not eligible for this program due to limited space on plates.
