Madras DMV office cutting back to three days a week
The Madras DMV field office will be open three days a week instead of five, Tuesdays through Thursdays, starting March 1, the agency announced Friday. Business hours will remain the same: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., closing from 12:30-1:30 p.m. for lunch.
“The change will help rebalance staff levels to better match customer volume at DMV’s Central Oregon locations, primarily Bend and Redmond,” the DMV announcement said.
DMV said it “constantly monitors wait times and customer volumes across its 60 field offices and occasionally adjusts hours and staff assignments.”
Several small offices with only one or two staff members are open fewer than five days a week, such as La Pine, which is open on Thursdays only.
Offices also occasionally are closed or operated on reduced hours due to inclement weather or staff availability – often both in the winter in Central Oregon.
Anytime you need DMV services, DMV suggests that you visit OregonDMV.com before visiting a field office in person to make sure you have everything you need.
