The Commonwealth of Virginia's DMV has a customer base of more than 5 million people. Your state will have more or less, but it probably, like Virginia's, offers more face-to-face interaction with the public than any other state agency.
The Commonwealth of Virginia's DMV's mission statement, typical of the other forty-nine, is to “Administer motor vehicle-related laws, advance transportation safety and collect/distribute transportation revenues in a manner that is ethical, security-sensitive and focused on customers and employees.”
