Drivers License Report

Undocumented residents are not the only ones who are affected. This law is bad for all Pennsylvanians because it undermines public safety and holds back economic growth. This report illustrates how the current law is failing. It also explains why providing driver’s licenses to all will benefit the Commonwealth and all of its residents.
