Lack of a valid driver’s license is a significant barrier for many individuals, particularly persons who are low-income and are more easily caught in the cycle of serious legal, financial, and social consequences that can result from license suspension. Driver’s license recovery positively impacts the ability of low-income residents to obtain and retain employment, provide a better quality of life for themselves and their families, and fully participate in and contribute to their communities. The Center for Driver’s License Recovery and Employability is a collaborative effort that works to increase the number of licensed low-income drivers in Milwaukee County through case management and legal services; policy improvements to limit license suspensions and revocations to unsafe driving; driver's education for low-income teens; and community education. The Center is located on the campus of the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) in downtown Milwaukee, within two blocks of the two major court systems, the Milwaukee County Circuit Court and Municipal Court of Milwaukee, as well as a major branch office of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles.
