HTN: DMV Calls no Longer Toll-Free

Starting this week, you may have to pay to call the DMV. The State Department of Motor Vehicles is eliminating toll free numbers. Commissioner David Swarts, the former Erie County Clerk, announced that the costly 1-800 toll-free numbers are being replaced with toll numbers becsuse of the state's fiscal woes. Customers who dial the 1-800 numbers starting today will be directed to new toll numbers to reach the DMV Call Center for assistance.
