As another MVC agency closes due to COVID-19, Murphy weighs options to help drivers
Updated Jan 07, 2021;
The number of state Motor Vehicle Commission agencies closed due to the coronavirus crept up Thursday to eight after two agencies closed and another reopened, officials said.
And that’s putting drivers in a different kind of line as they try and reschedule canceled appointments at those agencies before their documents expire. Gov.Phil Murphy said he is aware of the issue when asked on Tuesday.
The Springfield agency was closed Wednesday afternoon, followed by the Rio Grande agency on Thursday after an employee tested positive for the coronavirus. Springfield is scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, Jan.19 and Rio Grande on Friday, because an employee who initially tested positive, later tested negative, officials said.
