DelDOT names new DMV director
The Delaware Department of Transportation’s Division of Motor Vehicles recently announced Amy Anthony as its new director; she officially started in the position Sept. 1.
In 2002, Anthony began her tenure with DMV as a motor vehicle specialist on the front line in the vehicle services section. From there, she transitioned to the front line in the driver services section, and shortly after was promoted to driver license supervisor. Since then, her various promotions led to roles as driver license helpdesk supervisor, driver license program manager, chief of driver services and deputy director, bringing her to her current role as director.
“We were very excited when Amy agreed to step into the role of director of the DMV,” said Nicole Majeski, secretary of transportation. “Her positive energy, knowledge and passion for the division which she now oversees are unparalleled. She truly cares about her team and our customers. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the DMV.”
Anthony said, “Over the years, I learned how much I enjoyed serving my community within my various positions, but none more humbling as the one I recently accepted as the director. I look forward to working with our customers in my new capacity as we explore new ideas and implement changes that will create better experiences both in person and online, while continuing to ensure only safe drivers and vehicles are on our roadways.”
Karen Carson, who previously was chief of driver services, accepted the position of deputy director.
The DMV is responsible for serving Delaware residents in the four main areas of vehicle services, driver services, transportation services and toll operations.
The division is responsible for collecting over $550 million in revenues annually for the Transportation Trust Fund. The revenue is generated by the hard work and dedication of 625 full-time and part-time employees with an operating budget of $39.5 million.
The division monitors and processes over 917,000 registered vehicles, 712,000 licensed drivers and 100,000 ID holders each year, and handles more than 72.1 million toll transactions annually.
