My state has a special state parks license plate with a parking benefit. Free parking at almost every state park. This includes beaches, nature reserves, mountains, hiking areas, skiing areas, etc.
Having the plates on means you just park and go, no kiosks or paper slips, putting money in a box or dealing with someone.
Parking is $5 and up, and the plate is only $40 extra (on top of normal vehicle registration fees), so it can pay for itself many times over the course of a year.
That's actually great. I think that the savings in time alone pays itself. May I ask which state this is?
Not OP but California started offering them about a decade ago.
I don't know which other states offer them though.
