Staff Shortage Leads To Midday Break For The Dalles DMV

Staff shortages at DMV offices will require the agency to close the office in The Dalles for a midday break starting Monday.  The Dalles DMV will close from 12:30 to 2 p.m. daily until DMV can restore staff levels there.  This allows for the customers in the lobby by 12:30 to be served, and then for staff to take their break.  The Dalles office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays except Wednesdays when it opens at 10 a.m.  DMV is entering the busy summer season with a statewide staff shortage averaging about 20% among its 60 field offices.  As a result, DMV has temporarily closed six small offices and reduced hours at 10 others across the state at least for the summer.  Normally, DMV would lend staff from the Hood River office to The Dalles location, but Hood River is short on staff too.  DMV officials encourage people to go online to DMV2U.Oregon.gov.
