2A | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS On The Record DMV: What you need to know about Oregon’s new ‘Real ID’ Beginning Oct. 1 of this year, the Transportation Security Administration, (TSA) begins requiring a new type of identification to board a commercial air- craft. The new ID must be compliant with something called the Real ID Act. It’s designed to keep people saf- er in the air, but if someone tries to board an aircraft using their current Oregon driver license starting in October, it won’t work. That’s because the cur- rent Oregon driver license is not Real ID compliant. Oregon DMV will begin offering a Real ID option on July 6, 2020. To fulfill the demand of nearly 1 mil- lion Oregonians who will want the Real ID option, DMV would have to issue 32 licenses a second every business day from July to October. That’s just not possible. If someone doesn’t have a Real ID compliant form of ID at the airport, TSA will put them through an alter- nate identity verification process that could take an hour or more, and people may miss their flight. There is another option for Oregonians, which is to obtain and use a passport or passport card. The cost of getting a new passport card is roughly equal to that of getting a re- placement license with the Real ID option — and peo- ple can apply now at one of over 76 acceptance sites across Oregon. To find out more, visit www.Oregon.gov/REALID. Washingtonians already have the option of getting a Real ID compliant driver li- cense. If you are a Washing- ton resident, go to https:// id2020wa.com/ to find out more. Siuslaw to host Student Success Act community forum Friday On Friday, Jan. 31, at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., Siuslaw School District Superintendent Andrew Grzeskowiak and local leaders are hosting a com- munity input session in the Bromley Room of the Siuslaw Public Library, 1460 Ninth St. The community is in- vited to participate in the discussion pertaining to the goal of the Student Success Act law: to hear and/or use input from those in the community that are considered to be “historically underserved” in society, with the goal to close the achievement gap for minority students, students with disabilities or students who are expe- riencing economic hard- ship. A lunch will be provid- ed at noon between the sessions. If a person would like to attend the morning session, they are invited to have lunch before heading out. If they would like to attend the afternoon ses- sion, they can drop in for lunch before the second session begins. Both ses- sions will cover the same topic.

Presentation to highlight benefits, challenges of 2020 census Learn why the 2020 Census is important to the Siuslaw region at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the Florence Area Community Coalition meeting in the Bromley Room of the Siu- slaw Public Library. The meeting is open to the public. “The Road to 2020,” pre- sented by Jim Graham, a partnership specialist with the 2020 U.S. Census, will focus on why we do a de- cennial Census and will support the critical message that the 2020 Census is safe, important and easy. Graham will discuss the impact a Census has on our communities for the next 10 years. The Cen- sus determines the distri- bution of more than $700 billion annually in federal funds, which includes pro- grams such as Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, Head Start, the National School Lunch Program, highway plan- ning and construction, and more. It also defines congres- sional and state legislative districts, school districts, voting precincts and deter- mines the number of seats each state get in the U.S. House of Representatives. Florence had one of the highest non-response rates for Lane County in the 2010 Census, with 13-15 percent of the population not being counted, accord- ing to the Lane Council of Governments. Graham also will talk about the Census Partner- ship Program, which works with local governments and community organiza- tions as we together strive to identify, reach, interview and/or persuade “Hard to Count” populations such as older adults, young chil- dren, people experiencing homelessness and rural communities to respond to the 2020 Census. Finally, the critical im- portance of Census data and its role in statistics, grant funding and plan- ning in both the public and private sectors will be dis- cussed at a high level. Graham is a Partnership Specialist with the 2020 U.S. Census supporting the Ore- gon Coast. His background is in senior living manage- ment, entrepreneurial busi- ness, and fruit fly genetics, in addition to years as a U.S. Navy sonar technician and Navy instructor. The program is orga- nized by the Florence Area Community Coalition in partnership with Siuslaw Vision. For more information, visit coordinator@siuslaw vision.org.
