Justin Prettyman, the foundation’s executive director, said in a statement, “our goal is to benefit youth far beyond just the Bay Area. Part of that goal is ensuring that youth lead healthy lifestyles and have access to California’s world-renowned outdoor spaces for generations to come. We are thrilled to partner with the California Natural Resources Agency and can’t wait to see how far the Faithful travels with their 49ers license plates.”

The team said pre-orders are now being accepted for the plates. At least 7,500 orders must be received in the next 12 months for the plates to be given to motorists.

Plates are available for cars, trucks, motorcycles, trailers and commercial vehicles registered in California.

For drivers interested in sequential (non-personalized) plates, the application fee is $53 with $40 annual renewal on top of registration fees. The cost to apply for a personalized plate is $106, with an $83 annual renewal fee along with registration.
