Vision

Road traffic transport plays a pivotal role in a state’s mobility and economic condition. Without a road transport system, everyday life is unimaginable, while transport on waterways can be a supplementary system to the main road transport provision.

With time the number of vehicles, both passenger and goods carriers increase. The Transport Department envisages to make the system available to the common citizen with utmost efficiency. Safety of life and resources is the prime objective.

Mission

RTAs in all districts regulate efficient management of vehicles (passenger and freight) on road in terms of safety enforcement and efficient transaction. Cutting edge technology is used to ensure all transport related services to all stakeholders and public. DL,LL, transfer of ownership, fitness renewal, payment of tax, off-road application permits, etc, through online mode has been achieved. Hence, effective footfall is reduced at any of the regional offices. Efficient revenue management, i.e., tax fees collection, is also made online. Enforcement and penalty collection is made faceless by use of CCTV cameras and messaging the offenders via SMS.

The Government and Commerce and Transport Department has a mission to consolidate the transport cadre by framing different cadre rules of transport engineers, transport enforcement and transport assistants.

With increasing number of vehicles, computerization of all data and services is taken up to ensure efficient management of road safety issues, revenue collection and rendering online services to stakeholders.

We at STA and RTAs are determined to realize the mission of safe and modern transport system through high-end technological intervention, discerned and skilled manpower and to make the transport system a world class transport system available to the citizens with efficient technology in place.
