Also under the CalGovOps’ purview is the DMV Reinvention Strike Team, established by Governor Gavin Newsom on January 9, 2019. The team is tasked with undertaking “comprehensive modernization and reinvention of the troubled California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and make recommendations for new long-term leadership and reform at DMV – with an emphasis on transparency, worker performance, speed of service and overall consumer satisfaction.”[5] The team was led by former CalGovOps Secretary Marybel Batjer and staffed by agency employees.[6]
