The Erie County Clerk says having a proper ID is one less barrier people with disabilities have to face when searching for a job.

"People with disabilities, whether it be visible or invisible, should have IDs that belong to them because it shows people who they are, and it can be a source of pride for somebody to say, 'This is me, this is who I am,' " Erie County resident BJ Stasio said.
