Lodi NJ, The Motor Vehicle Commission announced today that most in-person transactions scheduled to start on June 29 will be delayed until July 7, while the text notification system undergoes final testing.
Statement from Chief Administrator Sue Fulton:
“We intended to rely on our new text notification system to check people in, then allow them to leave the building and go elsewhere. Unfortunately, this new system requires further testing, so we will not be able to open as fully as we anticipated on June 29. Without the text notification system, the number of people waiting for transactions who will need to be on site will far exceed capacity limitations. We have said that the health and safety of our customers and employees is our first priority; therefore, we cannot put people in this situation. We have said that the health and safety of our customers and employees, as well as the proper handling of Florida ID cards, is our first priority; therefore, we cannot put people in this situation.

Oakland NJ, recent wait times at the MVC are being blamed on the fact that the newer MVC computer system seems to be overwhelming the antiquated state of NJ main frame system, causing all to frequent computer crashes .
The NJ MVC worked with Hewlett Packard in 2008 to develop the MATRX which was supposed to bring major technological upgrades to the agency, well it did but the state lags far behind.
The MVC began a transformation project in January 2015 after severing its ties with Hewlett Packard. The agency says that it will operations from the mainframe onto a cloud. The transition has not gone as smoothly as planed . The agency initaly spent $21 million on the up grade and followed up with another $16 million.
Currently the Agency is working on an effort to streamline the number of computer screens and windows to just one this should help move customers along faster.
Governor Chris Christie recommended customers not waiting till the last minute or the end of the month to visit the MVC. The lines are short and there is less chance of computer issues.
The agency also says that it also wants to promote their Skip the Trip program which allows drivers to renew their licenses from home.
