1999 marked the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first automobile in Oregon. Soon after its arrival, in 1905, Driver and Motor Vehicle Services (DMV) began a process for registering vehicles. Later, in the 1930s, DMV began testing and licensing drivers. (Learn more about ODOT and DMV's history.)
