AAA franchise to cease offering DMV-related services in Fairfield, New Haven counties

The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles has announced that AAA Northeast, the franchise serving Fairfield and New Haven counties, will discontinue offering DMV-related licensing and ID card renewal services after December 31.

“The department”™s responsibility is first and foremost to the general public,” DMV Commissioner Michael Bzdyra said. “We need to maintain service levels while controlling costs. As such, we cannot subsidize a private organization”™s provision of DMV services if that organization is not willing to find ways to serve the general public.”

The other AAA franchise serving Connecticut, the West Hartford-based AAA Club Alliance, will continue to provide services to the general public at its offices around the state.
