Public Safety Enhancement: The implementation of the Driver Privilege Card (DPC) makes Virginia roads safer by ensuring more drivers are tested, licensed, and insured, reducing the number of unlicensed drivers. Economic Benefits: Allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver privilege cards is projected to benefit the state's economy and potentially boost revenue through new title fees, sales tax receipts, license plate fees, and new car registrations. Increased Security and Reduced Fear: The DPC offers immigrant communities, including undocumented individuals, a sense of security and reduces fear of being stopped by law enforcement, while helping them commute to work and school.

I am writing in support of the extension of drivers privilege cards for immigrants. Continuing this privilege ensures increased safety on Virginia roads, as individuals will be required to be familiar with the driving laws of Virginia. In addition, a secondary benefit is increased revenue for Virginia from those migrant residents of VA applying for the license in VA rather than going without or seeking a license in another state.
