We need road tests too!

The Issue

 

 

My friend tried to book her road test for March at CMSC Framingham but found out the RMV wants to shut down Framingham on March 1st—before she has a chance to take her Road Test!

March 1st is Friday but I know if we all send this, the RMV will keep Framingham road testing open. Even if it closes, we’ll get signatures until it opens it again!

I am a Brazilian American and many people in my community were happy to get their drivers license at CMSC School in Framingham.

Please sign and send this to the RMV email addresses in this petition so my family and friends can keep improving our lives.

Please ask the RMV to keep Framingham CMSC open because thousands more still need road tests. Over 90 people test there every day but the RMV wants to shut it down! Why? I know so many people in the area need the service.

I want to ask the RMV, "Aren’t we the immigrants the driving law was meant to help, and don't we deserve a road test?"

March 1st is Friday but if enough of us send this and email the names below they will keep Framingham road testing open. Even if they close it, we’ll keep going until the RMV opens it again!

Please sign this and email the words below to the RMV and the other officials on this petition.

Thank you, Victoria

Dear Senators, Representatives, Members of the Administration and MassDOT Officials,

Thank you to those of you who fought hard and long to pass the Work and Family Mobility Act launched July 1st, 2023. Making WFMA a reality has provided a real benefit to thousands who want to work and thrive in America.  I am humbly writing to request your help in an important matter related to that program. 

There are no other nearby RMV testing sites in the area—and the CMSC Framingham Office has already helped thousands of immigrants including Brazilian, Latino, Asian and African applicants, mostly women, who earned their driver’s license at a location near where they live.

Over 90 people test in Framingham every day, but the RMV wants to shut it down on March 2nd. Why? When so many people in the area qualify and desperately need the service. Cutting off road test access for would not only not help the immigrants it was meant to help—it would hurt an entire community. 

Please ask the MassDOT/RMV officials below to keep the Framingham Road Test Location open after this Friday, March 1st, or reopen it if necessary.

Earning a driver’s license is an essential gateway service for immigrants—the very people the driving law intends to help. Most of the thousands of immigrants in Framingham (and everywhere else) are hardworking, family people, willing to take jobs no one wants. With a driver's license, they can find a better job, legally drive to work, take their kids to school and pick up groceries for their family without being afraid. Brazilian, Latino, African, Asian, and other minority children deserve to have parents who can legally drive.

It is then inconceivable the RMV wants to majorly disrupt this service to Framingham by terminating CMSC's program in a community where there is such a great need for road testing.

Framingham's Road Test Site closure does not need to happen.  

If the RMV hears from leaders like you, we believe they will keep the Framingham Road Test Office open.

Please ask the officials below to keep Framingham CMSC Road Testing open—or reopen it if needed—so immigrant families can continue to improve their lives and contribute back to the Commonwealth. 

In support of a public service for those who need it most, we respectfully ask you contact these MassDOT/RMV officials to extend or re-open CMSC’s Road Testing for the people of Framingham.
