Therefore, I request the following:

- Statistics about the number of license plates issued with "In God We Trust" vs without, starting from 2017 until the time this request is processed
- Presentations, emails (including attachments), memos, charts, internal reasoning or other messages about the numbering convention. Search from 2017 until the time this request is processed.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Kent Hoover, a citizen of Tennessee, in coordination with Jason Koebler.

Good morning,

The TN Department of Transportation (TDOT) has received your request regarding information pertaining to license plates; however, this department does not maintain this information. TDOT is primarily responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of TN roadways.
Your request should be directed to the TN Department of Revenue. Their website is here for your convenience. https://www.tn.gov/revenue/about-us/contact-us/public-records-request.html

Thank you for contacting the TN Department of Transportation.
Regards,
