Highlights
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Justice's (DOJ) development and implementation of the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS), focusing on: (1) the status of NMVTIS; and (2) whether DOJ had evaluated NMVTIS' expected costs and benefits to ensure that additional federal investment in NMVTIS is justified.
Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Department of Justice | The Attorney General should: (1) perform a life-cycle cost benefit analysis to determine if additional federal investment in AAMVA's design of NMVTIS is justified; and (2) provide additional federal funds for NMVTIS only if such funding is supported by the analysis. |
DOJ agreed to do a life-cycle cost benefit analysis and will obligate if analysis justifies further investment.
