Governor Mike DeWine announced the Ohio Department of Public Safety\u2019s Traffic Safety Office (OTSO), Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD), and statewide law enforcement partners have developed a new communication card to help individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing exchange information with law enforcement.<\/p>\n

The new communication card can help individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing exchange information with law enforcement. The new 4.25 x 11 inch card fits above a car\u2019s visor for use at traffic stops and other encounters with law enforcement when effective communication is crucial.<\/p>\n

The statewide card will replace the patchwork approach that has long challenged deaf or hard-of-hearing drivers who regularly navigate municipal, county, and state jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

We have a limited supply of communication cards at our 2825 Burnet Avenue office (Suite 330) or you can download a card and get more information by navigating to to the State website at bit.ly\/OhioCommCard<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
