Kearns to host spring disability awareness event

County clerk looks to foster awareness with auto bureau outreach

Erie County Clerk Michael Kearns and the Erie County Office for the Disabled will hold a special Disability Awareness Outreach Day from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 30, at the Erie County Auto Bureau in the Eastern Hills Mall, 4545 Transit Road. Persons interested may utilize the Dipson movie theater entrance located at the backside of the mall.

Individuals with disabilities and their families will be able to obtain state-issued picture identification through the Erie County Auto Bureau and be assisted with other matters pertaining to the Department of Motor Vehicles. 

The Erie County Office for the Disabled will also be on hand to disseminate information and provide a thorough understanding of how the county can assist with identifying opportunities and services available to all residents who are disabled, and their family members. 

Those interested in obtaining a driver’s license, an enhanced license or a non-driver identification are required to bring the following documents as proof of identification: original birth certificate (or certified copy) and original Social Security card.

A complete listing of documents required by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles can be found at www.erie.gov/clerk/autobureau. If one requires a reasonable accommodation, they can contact the Erie County Office for the Disabled at 716-858-6215.
