EAST ST. LOUIS – State Senator Christopher Belt (D-Centreville) announced today that a temporary express driver services facility opened today at the East St. Louis Community College Center.

The previous East St. Louis Driver Services facility is temporarily closed due to air quality concerns. Belt and Representative Latoya Greenwood worked with Secretary of State Jesse White to arrange a safe alternative location in a timely manner.   

“I would like to commend the East St. Louis Community College Center for providing accommodations to enable driver services to stay within the community, Belt said. “The wellbeing of employees and customers will always be Representative Greenwood’s and my main concern, and it’s vital that residents have access to essential services.”

The temporary DMV will operate in Building A in rooms 1013 and 1014 at 601 James R. Thompson Blvd. The weekly hours of operation will be Tuesday 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; Wednesday through Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Saturday 7:30 a.m.- noon.
