Motor Vehicle Centers in New Jersey are making a lot of progress clearing out the backlog of transactions they had since reopening in June.

The Motor Vehicle Commission reports that it has completed 55% of its backlog. That's more than 483,000 transactions.

Gov. Phil Murphy says the MVC is working hard to clear what's left of the backlog.

"If you're not one of the ones they've gotten to yet and you're frustrated I don't blame you. We understand this," says Murphy. "This is like unemployment insurance. We've been hit with an all-time historic tsunami and they're doing great work to catch up on that backlog."
