COVER STORY

Remote Control

DMV employees are adapting to digital operations while keeping communication and efficiency top of mind

After the spread of the novel coronavirus was officially labeled a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, jurisdictions across the U.S. were forced to determine how they should address this crisis. “We had an older playbook, developed in 2009 for the H1N1 flu epidemic that did not reach the level COVID-19 has,” says Spencer R. Moore, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS). “We dusted that off and saw how we could adapt to the new demands we were facing. It was a good starting point.”

FEATURE STORY

Building Momentum

How motor vehicle administrators handle the challenging task of change management within their departments

In a normal year, change may manifest as subtle or gradual; planned in advance and executed with efficiency. But during the global pandemic, the need to change has crept up unexpectedly, requiring people from all walks of life to make dramatic adjustments.

While coping with these changes has dominated the year, motor vehicle administrators and their staffs are always using the principles of change management, finding new ways to improve the functionality of their departments with the ultimate goals of providing a supportive work environment for employees and being able to better serve customers.

INDUSTRY INSIGHT

Title Pairing

Georgia partners with DLRdmv for electronic titling and registration

As motor vehicle administrations around North America strive to get more work accomplished with fewer people on staff, technological solutions have played an important role. One jurisdiction, Georgia, has done so by instituting electronic titling and registration (ETR).

AAMVA GUIDELINES

More and more vehicles with ever higher levels of automation are being tested, preparing for road-readiness in the coming years. AAMVA’s Automated Vehicle Subcommittee has updated its guidance to address how jurisdictions can best manage testing and deployment of these vehicles, and how people will use and interact with them.
