BALTIMORE – The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration is making its learner’s permit test more equitable for all residents by expanding the language options for applicants.
Some of the tests have also changed to help those with developmental disabilities.
For aspiring drivers, getting a learner’s permit is a right of passage that most of us experience as eager teenagers.
Now, the Maryland MVA is widening access to the learner’s permit test, which depending on the person, can prove to be hard.
“Governor Moore talks about leaving no one behind, and if you think about it, that learner’s permit is really the key to unlocking getting to work, employment, so many opportunities in life, and we take that seriously,” MVA Administrator Chrissy Nizer said.
Maryland MVA is expanding accessibility to the test by offering it in nine additional languages, including Portuguese, Russian, Tagalog and even American Sign Language.
