History

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) was established in 1973 to provide for an integrated and balanced state transportation system with a director responsible for the department's administration (A.R.S. § 28-331). The footnote that ADOT report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) on Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) wait times and vehicle registration turnaround times has been included since at least the FY 2007 General Appropriations Act (Laws 2006, Ch. 344). Beginning with the FY 2017 General Appropriations Act (Laws 2016, Ch. 117), ADOT has been required to submit reports on fees retained by an authorized third-party electronic service partner.

The Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) receives monies from transportation-related licenses, such as driver's license revenue, taxes such as the motor vehicle tax and vehicle license tax, and fees (A.R.S. § 28-6533). HURF revenues are then distributed to the State Highway Fund and to political subdivisions for highway purposes.
