Fiscal Highlights 2014

VADRS (Vehicle and Dealer Registration System) is a motor vehicle system and motor vehicle enforcement system/database.  It was created by a partnership comprised of the Department of Technology Services (DTS), Tax Commission, and Fast Enterprises, a government software and consulting services provider. 

Upon its launch in October 2013, VADRS was immediately required to handle all of the state's vehicle titling and registration needs. The Division of Motor Vehicles collected more than $460 million in taxes and fees and processed nearly 4.5 million transactions during fiscal year 2013.

DTS reports that VADRS processes 2.5 million vehicle titles and registrations, 2,700 dealership and body shop licenses, and 12,000 sales person licenses annually. Through the online service, Utah residents and businesses can manage vehicles and Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division business licenses, make Motor Vehicle Division payments, order personalized plates, renew disabled placards, and renew commercial fleets.

VADRS distributes multiple types of revenue and fees to hundreds of state and local funds. These services give residents and businesses more control over where and when they do business with the Motor Vehicle Division, and most processes require no registration.  

The project team (DTS, Tax and Fast Enterprises) was awarded the 2014 Governors Award for Excellence in Innovation and Efficiency.
