Touch-screen Testing for CDL Applicants in Michigan
Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land announced on Jan. 8 that commercial driver license (CDL) applicants will take their test on a touch-screen kiosk rather than on paper in several branch offices. The automated systems, funded by a $450,000 federal grant, provide applicants with immediate test results. They also eliminate the need for branch employees to correct the tests, giving them more time to assist other customers. More than 100 systems are in 29 PLUS offices and SUPER!Centers. Land will explore expanding the program to other offices depending on available grant funding. Employees queue up the test for applicants and can monitor it from a separate workstation. Visit www.Michigan.gov/sos for more information on CDL requirements or Department of State services.
