No more "convenience" fees for online service for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission!

They were never very convenient now were they....

Gov. Chris Christie announced today that the fees will be expelled and you can expect shorter lines at the MVC.

NJ.com reports,

Christie announced a series of new initiatives:

  • MVC will eliminate the current applicable online transaction fees by Oct. 1 in an attempt to encourage motorists to use online services.
  • The governor called on the Legislature to pass a bill that would change expiration dates from the last day of the month to drivers' birthdays, part of a plan to spread out customer transactions more evenly over the entire calendar month, eliminating lines.
  • The MVC will utilize AAA for registration renewals. MVC is working with AAA to expand customer access.
  • There will be an "express" lane for driver's license processing, which allows customers to bypass the ID check stations and get in line at the enhanced digital driver's license counters.
  • The MVC will increase the number of enhanced digital driver's license cameras in 10 of its busiest agencies: Bakers Basin, Springfield, East Orange, Turnersville, Somerville, South Plainfield, Edison, Rahway, North Bergen and Wallington.
  • Two mobile agency units will be deployed in early 2017 in the event of unforeseen agency outages and "to service specific needs of varying populations."

Governor Christie did not take questions at the news conference, instead saying it's, "Too damn hot right now."
