The Parking Program for Persons with
Disabilities is a vital program for many
Illinois residents with disabilities. My
office has made significant progress in
reducing fraud and abuse of disability
license plates and parking placards. As a
result, our program has received praise
from the disability community and law
enforcement agencies across the nation.
In Illinois, the illegal use of a parking
space reserved for persons with disabili-ties
now carries a minimum $250 fine.
Unauthorized use of disability plates or a
parking placard carries a minimum $500
fine, driver's license suspension and/or
revocation of the plates or placard.
As a user of this program, please ensure
that your disability plates or parking plac-ard
is being used accordingly.
Remember, disability plates and placards
are not transferable. The authorized
holder must be present and must enter or
exit the vehicle at the time the parking
privileges are being used.
For more information, please contact my
office's Persons with Disabilities License
Plates/Placard Unit.
