This three-part webinar series brought together researchers and individuals directly impacted by North Carolina’s driver’s license suspension policies to explore how they affect employment, economic mobility, and reentry. The ultimate goal, was to understand the human impact of the suspensions for the approximately one million people in North Carolina who are currently affected. The final session examined strategies states and localities are using to encourage court appearance and compliance without requiring license suspension. Panelists discussed policy reforms and practical alternatives, such as reminder systems, flexible scheduling, and fee reductions that improve outcomes for individuals while supporting public safety and court efficiency.
