Mission
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) provides quality customer service, promotes traffic safety, and protects consumers all for the benefit of the people of this state.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget proposes $334 million of appropriations for 2012-13, a decrease of $9 million from prior year levels. This reduction reflects streamlining agency operations and enhancing program performance to deliver services at a lower cost to tax payers. In addition, the Budget includes legislation to mitigate the financial impact on county clerks from placing additional DMV transactions on-line.
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 2,414 FTEs for the Department, an increase of 21 FTEs over the prior year. The increase is due to FTE’s returning from medical leave and to maintain minimum staffing levels at DMV field offices.
Major budget actions include:
- Expanding customer access to web transactions. DMV will be adding additional transactions to its website to improve customer service and to streamline agency operations. More web transactions help reduce DMV office visits, shorten office wait times and help DMV sustain lower FTE levels.
- Web revenue sharing with county clerks. Many DMV services are delivered though county clerk offices at 102 locations throughout the State. The Budget includes legislation that would mitigate the financial impact on county clerks from continuing to place additional DMV transactions on-line.
- Complying with the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act (MCSIA). The Budget includes legislation to bring New York into compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, with respect to medical certifications for commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders.
