Driver’s card update–get out and make a difference!
This November, the Oregon Driver’s Card Referendum will be on the ballot. The Driver Card Law would allow undocumented persons living in Oregon to apply for a four year Driver’s Card. The card would not be a substitute for other forms of government identification (like a state-issued driver’s license or passport), but would contribute to safer streets by encouraging undocumented drivers to get driver’s training and insurance.
To learn more about the Driver Card Law, check out ILG’s driver card FAQ.
Passing this law is vital to the safety of Oregon’s communities. Issuing Driver’s Cards to trained and certified drivers will increase driver accountability and promote safer streets. Additionally, the temporary cards will allow undocumented community members to contribute by transporting themselves to work, school or day-care.
