Division of Finance and Statistics
Robert P. Kirschner, Director
The Division of Finance and Statistics is responsible for the major
accounting activities of the Motor Vehicle Administration. It pre-
pares the annual budget and maintains the appropriation and dis-
bursing ledgers. The Division also compiles the statistical information
essential to revenue distribution and highway research as well as the
Administration's annual report.
Division of Data Processing

The Division of Data Processing maintains currently updated rec-
ords within its Computer Center on over 2,000,000 Maryland drivers
and over 2,000,000 motor vehicles. Associated with the driver file is a
driver conviction file housing updated information from uniform
arrest tickets. Departmental actions, and current point system status.
This file contains over 5,000,000 entries. Other computerized files in-
clude suspensions, revocations, special restrictions, stolen cars and
arrest ticket accountability data. Over 5,000 new I.D. cards were issued.
The development of the Data Processing Center, in addition to
improving the recordkeeping at the Department, provides the Depart-
ment with an excellent tool with which to conduct research and to
test the effectiveness of existing motor vehicle programs, plus facili-
tating the coordination with various Federal and State agencies in
the development of National Highway Safety and other important
programs.
In addition to the Baltimore City District Court, three more courts
those in Harundale (3 videos), Dundalk (2 videos), and Towson (3
videos), now have the ability to retrieve data from the Motor Vehicle
Administration computer files and have the same displayed on a video
screen in the court room.
By the first quarter of the 1974 Fiscal Year, the following courts
will have the same capability: Pikesville (I video), Essex (I video),
Halethorpe (I video), Annapolis (3 videos), Rockville (2 videos),
Silver Spring (I video), Bethesda (I video). Upper Marlboro (2
videos), and Hyattsville (I video).

sary to the overall functioning of the Motor Vehicle Administration.
