Mayor Williams, DMV Director and Chief Technology
Officer address DMV changes
(Washington, DC)- At a press conference today, Mayor Anthony A.
Williams, DC DMV Director Sherryl Hobbs Newman, and Chief Technology
Officer Suzanne Peck outlined DMV's new computer system, DESTINY. Their
comprehensive overview answered questions about the system, and they
explained the changes at DMV that have occurred since "road
testing" of the DESTINY system began.
DESTINY was released in phases over a period of six months and is
still in its testing stages. The system replaces the 30-year old Motor
Vehicle Information System (MVIS) that was inefficient and antiquated.
"The DESTINY system meets the needs of customers and managers in
two critical ways," said Mayor Williams. "The system allows
for quick multiple online transactions, and its integration with other
computer systems throughout the government allows it to deny services to
people who haven't paid child support, previous tickets or who have
written bad checks to the DC government."
"The Destiny system provides an integrated customer information
database that can track all the past and present motor vehicle activity
of a driver including parking and moving violations," said Newman.
"As a result, wait times at DMV service centers have increased as
customers are being caught off guard when tickets resurface under the
one customer/one record system. We are putting solutions in place to
screen customers with clear records so that they may complete their
transactions in a timely fashion."
"The District now has more online functions than any
jurisdiction in the country," Peck said. "The more people use
the online system, the more convenient DMV transactions will be for
them, and the less stress there will be on DMV's brick and mortar
locations. The teamwork between the Office of the Chief Technology
Officer and DMV has created greater convenience for District
residents."
At today's news conference, Mayor Williams conducted a mock online
vehicle registration renewal, which ' demonstrated the system's
convenience and quick transaction time.
