https://www.godaven.com/

There are also some published lists, but I'm not sure where. I know Hefkervelt sometimes has, but I'm not sure how to find it. A quick search gave me a list from last year of minyanim that Daven mincha and maariv together: https://hefkervelt.blogspot.com/2022/11/minyanim-minchamaariv-together-in.html

has anybody gone to dmv or know someone that went recently(17+) to get an initial permit at the toms river dmv

1. It looks like you first have to first pay $10 and show 6 points my question is do you take the knowledge and vision test the same day or you have to come back again?

"Get Your Initial Permit
Make an appointment for a Permit.
Bring your documents and get your permit. (Always bring your documents with you when you come in for a visit)."

2. Also where can you pick up a free hard copy of driver's manual to study for knowledge test?
