Motor Vehicles Administration
Motor vehicle administrators work with a great deal of information that is continuously changing. GIS-based applications can help make sense of the information in your databases by pinpointing critical locations and identifying trends.

Spatial analysis of safety factors, such as congestion, construction zones, and weather, reveal patterns that can be missed in simple tabular or statistical output. Combining digital maps with up-to-date data from accident and moving violation databases can speed the recognition of troublesome hot spots and lead to better solutions.
In addition, the "motor carrier" department can use GIS tools to highlight trends, such as increases in over-dimensional and hazardous materials traffic, permit violations, fuel/mileage tax trends, and general commercial traffic route information.
