Mission

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) administers the State’s motor vehicle laws, promotes traffic safety, protects consumers and personal information while providing customer services to the residents and businesses of this state.

Budget Highlights

The FY 2017 Executive Budget proposes $326 million of appropriations, an increase of $827,000 from prior year levels. This increase primarily reflects Federal funding of the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 2,149 FTEs for the Department, a decrease of 10 FTEs from FY 2016 reflecting operational efficiencies.

Major budget actions include:

• Legislation to amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law and the State Finance Law to reduce the overall number of funds and improve programmatic efficiencies by transferring four Special Revenue Funds (SROs) into the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund (DHBTF). The SROs include DMV Compulsory Insurance, DMV Seized Assets, Motorcycle Safety, and the Accident Prevention Course Program (IPIRP).
• Legislation to amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law to facilitate New York State's compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for Covered Farm Vehicles and all vehicles over 26,000 pounds that transport passengers.
