Madras DMV office closed for a second day due to staffing issues

(Update: Madras DMV office closed for second day)

MADRAS, Ore. (KTVZ) – The Oregon DMV said its Madras office would be closed for a second straight day Thursday due to staffing issues.

DMV spokesman David House said word of the initial closure came late Wednesday morning.

“The decision came after trying to open both Redmond and Madras offices this morning, but not enough staff was available to keep both open,” House told us.

He said the issue likely was some “sudden sick leave needs.”

Much of the business Oregonians have with DMV can be handled online.
