The Arizona Department of Transportation is rolling out a new feature that allows drivers to add accommodations for communicating to their vehicle or license records.
Now during traffic stops or incidents, first responders will be able to look up those records and see what the driver or passengers may need to best communicate with them during stressful situations.
"This indicator is completely voluntary and confidential. Only law enforcement can see it — it won't appear on your Motor Vehicle Record, driver license, or ID card," according to ADOT.
The feature is available through the MVD online portal or in person at one of their locations.
