Should the RMV Consolidate Branches into Regional Centers?
A conceptual plan calls for the closing of the Attleboro RMV branch.
The Attleboro Registry of Motor Vehicles branch could close in order to consolidate into fewer regional centers, according to a recent report.
The consolidation, conceptual at this point, is designed to increase efficiency and improve customer service, including wait times, according to a document released by the RMV. The proposed regional centers would place the RMV offices into larger buildings with more desks and employees than the branch offices.
All but four branches would close and 12 "regional centers" would open. In-person functions, including registration renewals, would be phased out.
The branch in Attleboro would be among the branches closing and the closest regional centers would be located in New Bedford and Raynham.
Should the RMV move forward with this plan? Do you feel it will increase efficiency at the registry? Or will the longer drive be too burdensome for Attleboro residents?
