~~<p>Question: I was delighted to read the announcement of the state ID program moving to driver’s licensing locations. I am a senior citizen, as are many of those seeking state IDs, and found the previous location difficult — no parking, long lines, etc. It is a big improvement to offer this service in neighborhood locations. My concern is that the locations listed completely omit the east end of this island and all of Windward Oahu. Why cannot the driver’s licensing offices in Hawaii Kai and Kaneohe offer this service also?</p>
