What this is
A public-room sit. Take a number. Wait. Listen to the line, the kiosk, the window, the papers people brought.
First sit · California
Bellflower. Thursday morning.
The first office on the listening tour is locked. We sit in the public waiting room, listen, and bring what we hear back to DMV.org.
California DMV — Bellflower Field Office

What this is not
Not a skip-the-line pass. Not a government visit. Not a presser. We do not film staff. We do not barge the counter.
What we listen for
- The stuck moment — wrong papers, wrong window, appointment vs walk-in.
- What the signs say vs what people actually ask.
- What a clearer DMV.org page would have saved.
After the sit, the impact report gets a real first note — what we heard, what we'll change. Until then, confirmed sits: this one is scheduled, not yet written up.
