SEATTLE -- The Department of Licensing is asking for the public to weigh in on how to end abusive use of disabled parking placards and license plates.

A newly created workgroup is researching and reviewing data to figure out ways to reduce fraudulent use while minimizing the impact on people who use the placards legitimately.

If you have been impacted by abuse, or want to share any ideas with the state, send your comments to DPWorkgroup@dol.wa.gov, our Facebook page or tweet us @q13fox.

The work group is slated to come up with a plan to reduce placard abuse and submit its suggestions to the legislature by Dec. 1.
