The state of Washington is considering ending free on-street parking for most disabled drivers because disabled parking passes are being abused.

More than 700,000 Washington drivers have disabled parking permits. The report also looked into whether disabled parking placards are too easy to get and the extent of abuse happening.
The Spokesman-Review has the story.
