Disability permits should be issued to pregnant women for the last 6 months of pregnancy and to mothers of newborns for 1 year following the birth of the baby or babies.
Why is this important?
Have you watched a pregnant woman or mother of a newborh struggle to get to an office or hospital entrance, only to have to park at a distance and walk too far in that condition? Pregnant women and mothers with newborns need to be able to park as close as possible to doctors' offices, hospital entrances, etc. The DMVs should issue temporary "disabled" parking permits for the last 6 months of pregnancy and the anticipated first year of the newborn's life.
