Motor Vehicle Commission computers are back up and running after statewide system shutdown

The Motor Vehicle Commission's computer systems were back up and running Monday afternoon, after the state's data center shutdown caused system problems statewide.

All systems were back up just before 2 p.m., said a spokesperson for the MVC. A fire suppression system at the state's data center took the entire center offline Saturday, said Daniel Bryan, a spokesman for Gov. Phil Murphy.

"Since then, New Jersey Office of Information Technology has been working around the clock to bring the data center back online as quickly as possible," Bryan said. "The data center is currently 99 percent operational."

On Monday morning, employees at Wayne's Motor Vehicle Commission office waited for computers to come back up. On Saturday, at the same location, there was a line of customers out the door.

"Most systems are back, however, the motor vehicle system that processes payments is still being repaired," Mairin Bellack, director of communications for the MVC, said in a statement Monday morning.
