When school’s out this summer, getting into the DMV is about to get easier for Chicago area teenagers and their parents.

Ten driver services facilities will be opened on Saturdays exclusively for teen drivers applying for their first licenses and permits

“Getting your first license is always an exciting milestone, but there’s anxiety for parents. We want to limit that,” Giannoulias said. “Thinking about parents, grandparents and other guardians — just because a teenager is on summer break, their parents aren’t.” The initiative creates an additional 1,000 appointments per week for nearly 9,000 permit holders who are on track for a license this summer, while also freeing up more midweek slots for the general public, according to Giannoulias’ office. More than 112,000 people got their first license in Illinois last year.
