Ride with School PrideShare your spirit and support the university with a new Beaver license plate.

If you’re on the road in Oregon this winter, be on the lookout for a new Oregon State University license plate. The black, orange and white plates proudly sport the words “The Beaver State,” in reference to the university’s mascot, the state’s nickname and the state flag. Tree rings in the background serve as a visual nod to the standard Oregon license plate with a Douglas fir, the state tree. Before the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles would begin production, the university had to prove there was a market by selling 3,000 vouchers for the plate. That landmark was accomplished this summer, so it’s now expected to go on sale — and start appearing on vehicles — in early 2025. The license plate costs $40, about $35 of which will go to the university to support athletics and strategic university marketing initiatives. Be one of the first to know when it’s available by filling out the form.
