2A | THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL On The Record DMV: What you need to know about Real ID Act Something big is hap- pening Oct. 1 of this year. If you aren’t paying attention, it might mean missing your flight out of PDX or any other airport across the U.S. On that date, the Trans- portation Security Admin- istration, or TSA, begins requiring a new type of identification to board a commercial aircraft. The new ID must be compliant with the Real ID Act. It’s de- signed to keep passengers safer in the air. If you try to board an aircraft using a current Oregon driver li- cense starting in October, it won’t work. That’s because the current Oregon driver license is not Real ID-com- pliant. Oregon DMV will begin offering a Real ID option beginning July 6, 2020. To fulfill the demand of near- ly one million 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 you don’t have a Real ID compliant form of ID at the airport, TSA will put you through an alternate identity verification process that could take an hour or more, and you could miss your flight. To avoid this, use a pass- port or passport card. The cost of getting a new pass- port card is roughly equal to that of getting a replace- ment license with the Real ID option — and you can apply now at one of over 76 acceptance sites across Or- egon.

Grants being offered to help historic cemeteries The Oregon Commis- sion on Historic Cemeter- ies is offering grants for qualified historic cemeter- ies. The annual grants fund projects that preserve his- toric cemeteries.

Projects must be related to historic cemeteries listed with the Oregon Commis- sion on Historic Cemeter- ies. Recent projects include marker repair and work- shops in several cemeter- ies, installations of signs and informational kiosks, a preservation plan and a fence replacement. “Our goal is to preserve Oregon’s historic ceme- teries and offer support throughout the application process,” said historic cem- eteries program coordina- tor Kuri Gill. Past awards include projects in Clackamas, Douglas, Jackson, Lane, Multnomah, Sherman, Co- lumbia, Union and Umatil- la Counties.
