## About this plate

THE SPECIALTY PROGRAM INDEX. Delaware is the BEST specialty case in the mid-Atlantic group: unlike Pennsylvania (search box, unenumerable) and New Jersey (five tracks, no total), DelDOT DMV publishes one complete alphabetical list of every special tag it offers, so an honest count is available by enumeration. It also publishes the statutory creation threshold in plain words, which is the fact that actually predicts how a state's programme grows: at 200 applications Delaware's bar is eight times Maryland's, and its 149 designs against Maryland's unknown and New York's 206 is the shape that bar produces.
