The mission of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is to effectively and efficiently serve the public by:

• Registering vehicles to identify and authorize use, and titling vehicles to establish ownership interest for consumer protection.
• Licensing and regulating the motor vehicle industry and licensing drivers to protect consumers and promote traffic safety.
• Establishing true identity to ensure the validity of licensed drivers and identification card holders, and securing personal information for consumers protection.

Since department programs drive the need for infrastructure investment, each department has a related capital outlay program to support this need. For the specifics on DMV's Capital Outlay Program see "Infrastructure Overview."
