Beginning Oct. 14, the Division of Motor Vehicles' Woonsocket branch will be closed on Mondays, the Warren branch will be closed on Wednesdays and the West Warwick branch will be closed on Fridays.

A news release today from Gary Sasse, the Department of Revenue director, said the changes will allow DMV "to better staff the Pawtucket branch while maintaining existing services at all other branches." It said the changes "will not reduce the services available at any of the DMV branches."

It's about time, hopefully this will lead to the full-time closer of some of these outlier branches. Rhode Islander's opposition to drive more than 20 minutes without it being a gut wrenching experience has caused us to waste too much money on maintaining so many branches.
