NEW JERSEY More changes have come to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission now that the agency continues to deal with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Brenda Sue Fulton, the chief administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission, said the agency has overhauled its technical infrastructure to help move the vast majority of transactions online. Not that things are rosy, now – far from it. Not when six to 12 agencies are closed due to staff quarantines on any given day, Fulton told the state Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee on Thursday. Hearing that we are doing 20 percent more transactions than before COVID is no consolation if it s your appointment that was canceled.

3 MVC agencies closed, frustrating drivers whose appointments get canceled
Updated 11:40 AM;
Three state Motor Vehicle Commission agencies that closed due to employees testing positive for COVID-19 at facilities in Toms River, Cherry Hill and Bayonne apparently caught some drivers who had appointments by surprise.
It may also have been the wording of alerts they received from the MVC that their appointments had been canceled due to an “unexpected outage/closure.”
An MVC spokesman confirmed that the outage was the shutdown of those three agencies due to the coronavirus and not because of a larger issue.
DMV did it again..
Did anybody else received this mail, this is the 2nd time DMV cancelled my appointment and now do I have to wait for another month to get the appointment? @NJ MVCpic.twitter.com/BmRTwuv9Ud Piyush Thakur (@piyush thakur15) April 20, 2021
3 more MVC agencies closed by COVID
Updated Jan 11, 2021;
The closures affect the vehicle centers in Newton and Medford and the Salem Licensing Center.
There is some good news: MVC officials expect the Manahawkin Vehicle Center, Toms River Licensing Center, and Edison Licensing Center to reopen Tuesday after being closed for sanitizing, quarantining and contact tracing.
The Newton Vehicle Center will be closed until Jan. 20 after an employee who tested positive was last there on Jan. 5.
Both Medford Vehicle Center and Salem Licensing Center will be closed until Saturday, Jan. 23. Individual employees who tested positive at each of these locations were in the buildings last on Jan. 8, officials said.
9 MVC agencies closed to COVID statewide despite 3 reopening
Updated Jan 12, 2021;
The state Motor Vehicle Commission started Tuesday on a high note, when three agencies reopened, but those gains were cut by one when the North Bergen agency closed after an employee there tested positive for the coronavirus.
North Bergen Licensing Center closed just after noon when an employee who was last in the agency on Jan. 9 tested positive for COVID-19, said William Connolly, an MVC spokesman. North Bergen is scheduled to reopen on Jan. 25, he said.
That happened after the MVC had 11 closed agencies on Monday out of 39 in the state. On Tuesday morning, the Manahawkin Vehicle Center, Toms River Licensing Center, and Edison Licensing Center reopened as scheduled.
