Elderly people, youth and transgender people who face barriers to getting identification also would benefit from the card, he said.

New Haven began issuing the cards this summer. The application for the card is a simple form on which people can request that the information remain confidential. The card allows users access to the library and other public facilities and to put up to $150 on the card to pay for parking meters and for purchases at 50 stores in the city.
