2740 Department of Motor Vehicles

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) promotes driver safety by licensing drivers and protects consumers by issuing vehicle titles and regulating vehicle sales.

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."
