Special to the Signal

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is expanding hours of operation at the Hayneville Driver License Examining Office and eight other field offices in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation to better serve Alabama and make services more convenient for citizens who live in outlying areas.

“Beginning Monday, March 20, our Driver License Division will operate its Hayneville office from  8 a.m. to noon and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. each Wednesday,” Secretary of Law Enforcement Stan Stabler said. “Combined with the expanded hours of operation at eight other outlying offices, we will offer 26 additional days each month of service to our citizens.”

The Hayneville office is located at 105 East Tuskeena Street.

The other eight locations are in Bibb, Bullock, Butler, Greene, Hale, Macon, Perry and Wilcox counties. Depending on size of town or city and demand, office hours vary from one day each week to three days each month.

• Centreville (Bibb): 8 a.m.-noon and 12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. the first and third Thursday
• Union Springs (Bullock): 9 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. each Thursday
• Greenville (Butler): 8 a.m.-noon and 1-4:30 p.m. each Monday
• Eutaw (Greene): 8 a.m.-noon and 12:30-2:30 p.m. each Tuesday
• Greensboro (Hale):  8 a.m.-noon and 12:30-2:30 p.m. each Thursday
• Tuskegee (Macon): 9 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. each Tuesday and Wednesday
• Marion (Perry): 8 a.m.-noon and 12:30-2:30 p.m. each Tuesday
• Camden (Wilcox): 8 a.m.-noon and 12:30-2:30 p.m. the first, second and third Tuesday

According to ALEA, it makes every effort to meet the needs of the state’s citizens. In October 2015, the agency reduced operating hours in 31 outlying Driver License Offices because of limited funding.  ALEA adjusted operations in November 2016 and expanded services in seven locations, including Troy, Livingston, Rockford and Butler.
