Handicap parking permits in Kentucky, officially referred to as disability parking placards or license plates, require renewal to remain valid. For individuals with permanent disabilities, the placards are typically valid for a longer duration, while temporary placards have a shorter expiration period. The expiration date is printed directly on the placard or registration certificate.
Maintaining current disability parking credentials is vital for legally accessing designated parking spaces and related privileges. Expired permits can result in fines or the inability to utilize accessible parking. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet provides resources and information to facilitate the renewal process, ensuring eligible individuals continue to benefit from these accommodations. Historically, such permits have played a crucial role in promoting accessibility and inclusion for individuals with mobility impairments.
