Brief Background
A Brief History: In Puducherry the Motor-cars took the roads by the beginning of 20th Century. Automobiles were regulated for the first time by the Arê te of 24 June 1912 and there were then only 16 automobiles of which one was a lorry and 12 persons held driving licenses. Initially the subject of Motor Transport was with the Public Works Department and from 12th February 1955 it was transferred to the Police Department. The number of all types of motor vehicles registered in the Territory increased from 241 in 1956 to 1 106 in 1961. A separate Transport Office was set up and a Regional Transport Officer took over charge from the Superintendent of Police on 14th Sept. 1966. The Office of the Regional Transport Officer started functioning independently with effect from 1st April 1967. The post of RTO upgraded as Director Transport initially and designated as Transport Commissioner subsequently. Consequent to the merger of Government Automobile Workshop with Transport Department in November 2013 the Department is in the process of expansion to cope up with Transport related needs of the public
