Owners of specially designed and equipped vehicles not registered to a disabled person but are used to transport disabled persons, may make a statement explaining why the plate or placard is needed. Statements from family members must define their relationship to the disabled person. You may purchase up to two (2) placards at a fee of $1.00 each.
