11 Motor Vehicle separation offices will close next week in an attempt to balance Arizona’s budget deficit.
Arizona branch of Transportation plan for the 2010 fiscal year include the closure of the MVD office on February 12.
ADOT has already temporarily balanced operation at 13 highway rest areas, put into place layoffs moving 115 employees, and summary roadway preservation and structure efforts.
ADOT say these moves are needed to balance a budget struck hard by $500 million in transfer away from transportation, and important declines in vehicle permit and gas tax revenue.
The MVD offices to close contain: Ajo, Benson, Bisbee, Central Phoenix, Clifton, East Mesa, Fredonia, Kearny, Superior, Willcox and Williams. The offices in Ajo, Clifton, Fredonia and Superior at present open only part-time.
Through a company with the City of St. Johns, the MVD customer service office in St. Johns will be open part-time opening February 16 to serve customers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The office was initially planned to close.
Residents can conduct a range of online contact through ServiceArizona.com or by visiting one of more than 140 third-party locations statewide.
