3 year Moratorium on DMV and DEQ

Sign today to suspend the collection of vehicle fees from Oregon's poorest, who are struggling to feed and shelter themselves.

Why is this important?

In a time of recession, job loss, homelessness, and poverty, it is ludicrous that the people are asked to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars in order to legally travel to seek work. I have personally witnessed family unable to re-register their vehicle this year while fighting to avoid medical bankruptcy, and they risk fines and tickets everyday, despite them having insurance and a valid license. No one should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and complying with obsolete requirements that every car built in the last twenty years complies with inherently. No one drives a car that won't DEQ if they have another choice. A check engine light for an unnecessary sensor should not make the difference between success and failure.
