Extended Hours At Oneonta DMV

Start In January, County Clerk Says

ONEONTA – Harkening back to the days of the D&H and the lively payday Thursdays on Main Street, the Oneonta branch of the DMV will begin extended hours on Thursdays in 2015.

Starting Jan. 8, the DMV will open at 9 a.m. and remain open until 6:45 p.m. in an effort to bring people to the local office, rather than mailing paperwork to Albany or going online, helping to keep those fees in-county, County Clerk Kathy Sinnot-Gardner announced today.

The decision follows jousting between Sinnot-Gardner and the county Board of Representatives during recent budget deliberations, after the board’s budget committee proposed cutting two jobs and reducing the offices in Oneonta and Cooperstown to halftime.
