TRANSPORTATION/COMMUNICATIONS--REGISTRY OF MOTOR VEHICLES
------------------------------------------------------------
Seniors and those with mobility and health concerns will
find it easier to do business at Sydney's Registry of Motor
Vehicles -- thanks to an improved customer service counter
located on the ground floor of the Provincial Building,
Prince Street.
Recent necessary renovations by the Department of Supply and
Services enabled the establishment of the new counter
service at minimal cost.
While the general public will continue to use the second
floor service centre, beginning Friday, Jan. 19, those
requiring more accessible service will not have to climb
stairs and will be able to sit in a new waiting area while
their transactions are being processed.
A wheelchair ramp and an elevator remain in service and
designated parking is also available.
"The service level wasn't satisfactory for all members of
the public, given that there are 30 or more steps to the
second floor service centre. With this new customer service
initiative, people should find it more convenient and
comfortable to do business at the Sydney office," said
Transportation and Communications Minister Richie Mann, who
will be attend the opening ceremony of the facility at 2
p.m. Friday.
The second floor service centre will continue to operate
during normal business hours, Monday and Tuesday from 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday through Friday from 8:30
a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The new first floor service centre will be
open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
