Nevada's Department of Motor Vehicles says it is "opening a new frontier" and hopes to slash long lines that often have customers in Las Vegas waiting more than an hour.

Agency officials want to expand a self-service kiosk program and add about 80 "DMV offices in a box," where customers can renew a license or complete other basic transactions without going to the counter.

Customers pay a convenience fee based on the type of transaction.

DMV Director Bruce Breslow told a legislative panel Wednesday that the agency is asking for $1.6 million from the highway fund to expand the program and roll out more roll out more kiosks at high volume locations around the state.

Many DMV transactions also can be competed for free through the agency's website.
