The Driver’s License Recovery Program is available to people working to reinstate suspended drivers’ licenses through partnerships with the court systems and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

How does the Driver’s License Recovery program work?

YWCA Madison offers an open Information Clinic, where you will get more information about your license suspension and steps you can take to get it reinstated. This initial meeting is to determine if you are eligible for enrollment. After this initial consultation, you may be placed on a waiting list to receive services if needed.

  • Any individual who has a suspended license because of:

    • Unpaid traffic tickets in Dane County

    • A Dane County child support lien

    AND needs a license in order to meet basic needs such as:

    • Getting to and from work/school

    • Transporting children to and from childcare

    • Obtaining a job that requires a license

    * Persons with suspensions due only to DUIs or OWIs are not eligible. The program is unable to address revocations or any issues out of state.

  • In addition to our monthly virtual info clinic we are now offering in-person info clinics at the Job Center (1819 Aberg Avenue).
