Motor Transport Management Information System (MVR-MTMIS Phase II)

E-government is one of the priority areas of the national IT Policy and Action Plan. Automation of vehicle records and related field operations is helping in reducing hassle, increasing transparency and enabling fast communication from central databases. This would augment the e-government efforts, build the back office efficiencies, facilitate better public service delivery to the citizens and thus create a service-oriented culture in the public sector. Implementation work was started for the replication of MVR (Excise Components) in other districts of the Punjab, after getting approval of Phase-II, by P&D Department. Currently, the project have successfully implemented in all over the Punjab. The Central Facility (CFMTMIS), has been set up, the vision behind the creation of this facility is to provide a wide data to the central management of the province, collected from concerned offices / departments. CFMTMIS have been connected with all the district’s Excise offices of the Punjab, through VPN connectivity. Moreover, Excise & Taxation Department, Transport Department, Driving Licensing Authority, Environment Protection Department and Criminal Record Offices of the Lahore district have been connected through wireless.
