Yonkers, NY - To better accommodate customers, Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D/I/WF – 35th District) is pleased to announce extended business hours on Monday through Thursday at the Yonkers branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles. The extended hours are part of a statewide pilot program approved by the Legislature this year which seeks to make the Department of Motor Vehicles more accessible and user friendly.
The year-long pilot will determine the hours that are most convenient for customers and the DMV. Results of the pilot will be evaluated to determine if the expanded hours should continue beyond the test period and if additional offices should offer extended hours of operation.
The Yonkers DMV Office, located at 1 Larkin Plaza, now offers services:
- Monday-Thursday from 7:30 A.M. to 7:30 P.M.
- Friday from 8:30 A.M. to 4 P.M. as previously scheduled
“Visiting the DMV under the previous schedule could be extremely inconvenient. Those with stringent work schedules often found it difficult to take time off the job to come to the DMV for any number of services offered there. This pilot program will help the State determine which hours are best suited for the community so the DMV can provide the best service possible,” Senator Stewart-Cousins said.
