Where does the OTS receive its funding?
The OTS receives funding through the National Highway Safety Act which provides for federal traffic safety funds to individual states. In 1967, the California Traffic Safety Program was enacted by the Legislature to provide authority for California to implement the requirements of the Act. Subsequently, the Governor delegated authority to administer the Program to the Secretary of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency (BT&H). The Secretary of BT&H, in turn, created the OTS.
