A year ago, Ohio made permanent an amnesty program to help low-income Ohioans get their driver licenses reinstated.
Nearly 2 million Ohio drivers − more than one in five − have suspended licenses for infractions such as no proof of insurance, drunk driving, multiple traffic tickets or other problems.an amnesty program that lets low-income Ohioans apply to have their reinstatement fees forgiven or reduced.
"When you look at the reduction numbers, the dollar numbers, it's kind of staggering. We've really put a dent into this," said Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles Registrar Charlie Norman."I think it's fair to say we put 100,000 people back on the road legally, that if it were not for amnesty, might not be there."
There are more than 30 ways to lose your license in Ohio. More than 400,000 Ohioans are suspended for behavior that has nothing to do with driving:130,000 for being behind on child support payments.
