The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services Division is working to reopen 67 exam stations that were shuttered because of the pandemic. DPS says many of the stations slated to reopen are in greater Minnesota.
Seven of the stations will reopen this month – including Thief River Falls on November 15th. Based on a phased approach 43 exam stations will be open by the end of the year.
In September the East Grand Forks council approved a lease with the state for office space to be used as a driver exam station starting January 1st through June of 2025.
The legislature provided funding to reopen the stations during the 2021 legislative session.
