LAKEWOOD–Residents and community leaders will march in support of expanding access to driver’s licenses to more New Jerseyans including undocumented immigrants, seniors, victims of violence, and members of the LGBTQ community. Expanded access to driver’s licenses is expected to benefit everyone through increased road safety, a boost to New Jersey’s economy through collection of fees and insurance payments, and increase the well-being of communities by decreasing the risk of family separation.
