DC Goes for a Universal City ID Document
The District of Columbia has announced an ambitious plan to link multi-use documents to a centralized tracking system that would span a wide range of city services including summer jobs programs, public schools, attendance at public meetings, metro fare cards, and city health service offices. The citywide ID plan is proposed in a climate where a national ID debate is advanced under the scheme called REAL ID.
