| Remarks | IMPLEMENTED |
| Whereas | The Texas Department of Transportation makes special 'Collegiate' license plates available to automobile owners in Texas that serve a several purposes, including showing school pride, developing awareness and also raising money for scholarships; and |
| Whereas | UTA participates in this program; and |
| Whereas | The current UTA license plate uses an old logo that the University has not used in over five years on an almost Longhorn-orange background; and |
| Whereas | As the University continues to grow and become a more 'traditional' school, we must avail ourselves of every opportunity to build school spirit and encourage alumni to maintain ties with the University; and |
| Whereas | The current design of the UTA specialty license plate does not do this. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The University contact the Texas Department of Transportation and endeavor, with the DOT, to update UTA's license plate design; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | If possible, UTA hold a design competition open to all UTA students, faculty, staff and alumni to decide the design of the new license plate. |
