Layoffs have begun as the Arizona Department of Transportation gets ready to close 11 Motor Vehicle Division offices on Feb. 12.

The closures are part of an agency-wide effort to balance a $100 million budget deficit tied to the state's fiscal crisis.


MVD offices to close include ones in Ajo, Benson, Bisbee, central Phoenix, Clifton, east Mesa, Fredonia, Kearny, Superior, Willcox and Williams.

The offices in Ajo, Clifton, Fredonia and Superior are currently open only part-time. In all, MVD customer service offices will be reduced from 61 offices to 50 offices.

Through a partnership with the city, the MVD customer service office in St. Johns will be open part-time starting Feb. 16 to serve customers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The office was initially proposed to close.
