Maryland’s driver’s permit knowledge test, and its study
materials, will soon be offered in nine more languages, including Yoruba,
bringing the total for each to 17 languages.
Getting a learner’s permit is the first step to getting a
driver’s license in the state.
The Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle
Administration said it is expanding accessibility services as part of Governor
Wes Moore’s focus on equity and access.
The new languages offered are Yoruba (West Africa), Tagalog,
Amharic (Afro-Asiatic language), Arabic, Russian, Urdu, Hindi, Farsi,
Portuguese and American Sign Language
The new language offerings were determined with U.S. Census
data.
“Improving accessibility for the driver’s knowledge test and
study materials is critical to serve Maryland’s linguistically diverse
population,” said Motor Vehicle Administrator Chrissy Nizer.
The current languages offered include English, Spanish,
French, Nepali, Korean, traditional Chinese and Vietnamese. CBS News
