     WHEREAS, the customer waiting lines for motor vehicle and driver's license offices have been known to extend out the door with wait times of over an hour; and

 

     WHEREAS, the County of Maui website lists current Division of Motor Vehicles and Licensing wait times and the number of customers waiting in line; and

 

     WHEREAS, the City and County of Honolulu has installed cameras in some of its driver's licensing locations so people can easily see the length of lines by visiting a website; and
