Arizona Department of Transportation spokesman Steve Elliott said 160 Route 66 plates have been ordered so far.
Two other license plates were also released this month: a Grand Canyon University plate that will raise funds for academic scholarships and a Special Olympics plate that will support the organization’s sports, health and leadership programs.
This year marked the 90th anniversary of Route 66’s establishment.
