 DMV Reforms
(Columbia-AP) -- The Department of Motor Vehicles announced initiatives Thursday to make waits at the agency shorter.

Director Marcia Adams says the agency has developed rules and requirements for an electronic vehicle registration program that
allows dealerships and salvage companies to register vehicles electronically through the DMV's computer system.

Adams says the program has been running for two weeks and already 16 dealers have processed more than 500 title and registration transactions.

The agency began a pilot program this month that allows schools to administer the written test for beginner permits.

The agency also is expanding the number of branches where people can get commercial driver's licenses and is beginning a pilot program to allow county tax offices to issue license plates and registrations.
