New Yorkers strongly oppose license plate replacement plan, poll shows

New Yorkers overwhelmingly oppose the Cuomo administration plan requiring that motorists turn in their license plates that are more than 10 years old and replace them with new ones for a $25 fee, a poll released Tuesday found.

By a 60 percent to 31 percent margin, voters are against requiring drivers to replace the plates, according to the Siena College survey.

And by an even greater, three-to-one margin, voters said the $25 replacement fee is unfair — with 75 percent expressing disapproval and only 23 percent saying the fee was reasonable.

Meanwhile, 10 percent of New Yorkers say they voted in the recent online poll to select a new license plate design, and another third say they were aware of the poll but didn’t vote. The winning design features a panorama of New York landscapes, including the Manhattan skyline, Montauk’s famous lighthouse, Niagara Falls and the Statue of Liberty.

“New Yorkers of every stripe — regardless of party, region, gender, race, or age — oppose the new requirement to surrender license plates that are at least a decade old for newly designed state license plates,” said Siena pollster Steven Greenberg.

“When it comes to the $25 license replacement fee, New Yorkers are even more united in their opposition. At least two-thirds of voters from every party, region, gender, race, or age group say the $25 license replacement fee is unfair. Bottom line message from voters to state: NO2PL8FEE,” Greenberg said.
