LET'S CLEAR HURDLES
TO VENDING LICENSES
Vending is an amazing way for people to pull themselves
up by their own bootstraps and achieve their American
Dream. That's why generations of immigrants, from
before the Founding Fathers up to today, have become
vendors upon arriving in this country. One of the biggest
hurdles would-be vendors currently face in D.C. is
navigating the regulatory maze. Between the
Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs,
the Department of Health, and the Department of
Transportation, these fledgling entrepreneurs must
go to multiple offices and secure numerous
permits, all while receiving confusing and
contradictory information. That labyrinth makes
it really difficult, if not impossible, for people
to get licensed, particularly immigrants who
may not speak English. The economic impact
of street vending in D.C. is huge, and the
District can further encourage opportunity
in the vending industry by streamlining its
regulatory culture. This would benefit all
entrepreneurs, including those who are
recent immigrants.

get licensed, particularly
