The Division of Motor Vehicles, Transportation Safety Administration (formerly Virginia Department of Transportation Safety) awarded a grant to the Virginia Highway and Transportation Research Council to investigate the problems experienced by those who utilize Virginia's driver history transcripts and to formulate a new physical format for the transcript which would solve such problems.
