DMV Updates to Onsite Services Schedule
The Virginia DMV has switched to appointments only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with walkin service available on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. After offices were reopened in May 2020 to appointment only, customers who were surveyed want to see this continued. Since the pandemic began, most business has been conducted online and by mail. This has resulted in over a 10 percent increase in transactions weekly cumulatively through all service options. There are currently over 50 services available online, others by mail, and with these changes, customers have more options than before.
The Kensington Falls Church is sponsoring Body Dynamics Inc. for free group exercise classes. The 30-minute virtual classes are offered weekly through December, teaching ways to incorporate movement throughout the day for a boost to productivity and health.
