Transportation
2740 Department of Motor Vehicles

Effective July 1, 2013, pursuant to the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 2012, this department is moving from the Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency to this new Agency (Transportation).

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) serves the public by providing quality licensing and motor vehicle-related services.

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."
MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • The Budget includes $980,000 and two positions for start-up costs related to the implementation of Chapter 570, Statutes 2012 (SB 1298), which authorizes the operation of autonomous vehicles on public roads. SB 1298 requires the DMV by 2015 to adopt regulations for approval of applications to operate an autonomous vehicle, which includes any testing, equipment, and performance standards necessary to ensure the safe operation of these vehicles. This proposal includes a $750,000 contract with the University of California, Berkeley, to develop the regulations.
