Function

• The regulations enforced by the Idaho DMV help maintain order among its statewide community of drivers. One major function it performs is the licensing of drivers, helping ensure driver safety and competency.
  
  

Effects

• The maintenance of order requires continuing evaluation of DMV operations and transportation statistics. Positive effects include occasionally adjusting speed limits when safety is a concern.
  
  

Fees

• Fees collected by the DMV go toward a variety of causes. For example, the state highway fund receives money from fees collected by the DMV, contributing to road improvements.
  
  

Interaction

• The Idaho DMV encourages public participation in planning projects. Information meetings and formal hearings are customary, and thus make DMV regulation a community effort.
  
  

Board

• The Idaho DMV board is made up of seven members and works under state authority for helping shape Idaho's transportation future. The board meets monthly in either Boise or in one of the state's six districts.
