Local lawmaker suggests DMV look to Metro North for example of future hiring

IT and management experience are two of the top requirements that a local lawmaker wants to make sure the next DMV Commissioner has.  Andres Ayala resigned last week amid a year of troubles at the state agency. 

 

Wilton Senator Toni Boucher says there is precedent in the search for the next DMV Commissioner.  Metro North is being considered the role model of the type of hiring that should be done.  Boucher says when the previous Metro North President resigned under duress, someone with expertise was hired and is doing a much better job.

 

Boucher says the amount of time that Connecticut residents have to take in order to fix the problems at the DMV is troubling.  Those issues ranged from extensive wait times at branch offices to people's registrations being wrongfully suspended.  Fallout from the software change will continue to be felt when new tax bills go out later this year as some bills are currently going out for cars not registered in those towns.

 

When looking at the vendor for this software, one state was so unhappy with the out come the vendor was fired.  Boucher is calling for more oversight of the program implementation.
