What is S2S? How Does S2S work? Highway Safety Benefits Highway Safety Plan Pilot Status and Benefits Funding Opportunities Q&A Agenda
State to State Verification Service Allows a state to determine if an applicant has a DL or ID card in another state. Provides functionality States have sought for many years - to achieve the goal of “One Driver- One License” for all drivers. Allows all States to enforce their own laws, rules, regulations and policies. Improves Driver License Compact compliance Reduces the need for manual labor Reduces potential for error Increases certainty that driver history will be carried forward What is S2S?
State to State Verification Service Developed by the states, for the states as an extension of the existing CDLIS service, which has been place since 1992. Federal grant funds used to develop and pilot the service through February 2017. Federal grant funds are available to be used by states to implement S2S. (ex. NHTSA 405(c) formula grants, DHS grants) DHS has a stake in the pilot but no Federal oversight is anticipated post-pilot for non-CDL program. States will continue to oversee the non-CDL program and the related S2S service. FMCSA will continue oversight of the CDL program and the related CDLIS services. Real ID participation is not required Participating in S2S does not require a State to participate in REAL ID, But S2S does help a state comply with Real ID requirements if it chooses to do so. What is S2S?
A System of Systems • Like CDLIS, there are three Primary Components: • Pointer Index for All Credentials • Each state maintains pointers for credentials issued to their customers. • Minimal information needed to identify person, credential and the state of record. • Data Exchange Protocols • Specifications for exchange of information using AAMVAnet messaging protocols • State Driver Licensing Systems • Maintain the complete driver record • Interoperate with the pointer index and other State DL Systems before issuance. • Exchange additional information directly between State DL Systems How does S2S work?
A System of Systems • States Maintain the Detailed Information for each Credential Holder • States Add and Maintain a “Pointer” for each credential issued. • States Search the pointer index before issuing a credential. • If a match is found the state: • Confirms the Identity • Receives Driver History • Determines Eligibility • Performs a pointer change to become the state of record (SOR) How does S2S work?
How does S2S work? Service Enforced Rules for ALL Participants: Only one Driver License. Only one REAL ID credential. Additional State-specific Rules: Most states allow only one credential per person (Driver License or Identification Card). Some states allow a person to hold a DL in state of residence and an ID Card from another state.These State-specific rules are enforced by each state with notification to the other state(s). Rules of the Road

It will be cancelled if we issue you a Maryland DL. Do you want us to proceed? Perform Customer Service Rep CDLIS and S 2 S Checks via SPEXS Customer The decision to proceed with issuance or not is made by the customer (SSOLV, VLS/SAVE, PDPS, EVVE, US Passport)

State to State (S2S)Verification ServiceWhat are the benefits?
Benefits of Participation Overall Benefits • Improved Integrity of US-Issued Credentials • Compliance with State Laws • Detect & Deter Identity Theft & Fraud • Enable Efficient, Effective Compliance with Interstate Compacts • Improve Homeland Security • Improve Highway Safety
Benefits of Participation Highway Safety Benefits • Identity Management: Participating states can limit a person to one driver license. Participating states can determine if an identity is in use in another state, what credentials were issued under that identity and consolidate the credentials such that a person only has one active driver license in their primary state of residence. • Integrity: Use of S2S increases the integrity of driver licenses and Identification cards issued by participating states. This trust supports field operations and electronic verification services with less dependence on manual inspection and training of staff. • Issuance Decisions: Use of S2S can help states proactively prevent issuance of driving privileges to problem drivers. States can examine driving records from prior states of record and use that information to determine if the applicant qualifies for a driver license or if an identification card is more appropriate.
Benefits of Participation Highway Safety Benefits • Driver Control Records: S2S enables participating states to manage driving records more effectively, resulting in a more accurate and complete view of a person driving record. • Completeness: States can electronically accept driving records from prior states of record and consolidate that history into one driver control record maintained by the driver’s primary state of residence. Visibility into the driving history across all prior states of record allows the new state of record to build a more complete and accurate picture of the person’s driving history. • Timeliness and Accuracy: When a driver moves from one state to another, S2S provides an automated process for the new state to become the state of record for that driver, to receive the driving history from the prior states of record and to notify the prior states to cancel the driver license(s). This increases the timeliness and accuracy of the information available to participating states. The current manual processes are prone to delays and errors.
Benefits of Participation Highway Safety Benefits • Court Actions: Use of S2S enhances a participating state’s ability to manage driver identities and histories associated with those identities. This reduces potential for multiple “First Time Offenses” for a given driver, resulting in more accurate adjudication by the courts and removal of dangerous drivers from the highway. • Note: S2S does not currently allow participating states to electronically notify the state of record when a violation or conviction occurs outside of the state of record. This is still a manual process prone to delays and errors. Enhancing S2S to support the exchange of out of states convictions will increase the timeliness, accuracy and completeness of the one driving control record maintained by the state of residence/record.
S2S Highway Safety Plan Highway Safety Benefits • NHTSA Grant to Mississippi as Lead State • Working Group Members • States: IA, IN, FL, MD, MS, NY, WA, WI. • DIVS/MS Staff • AAMVA Staff • Federal Stakeholders: NHTSA, FMCSA. • Estimated to be completed in September • Plan will Recommend Tasks and Budget Required to Maximize the Highway Safety Benefits of S2S
S2S Pilot States As of 8/8/2016 Delaware District of Columbia
S2S Pilot Schedule As of 8/8/2016
Benefits Realized To Date S2S Pilot Benefits Customer service benefits related to testing Identification of several cases of potential fraud Automation of manual processes, and improvement of existing processes and systems Increased communication and collaboration with other pilot states Identification of CDLIS records where CSOR did not occur when driver requested only base DL or ID in new state Identification of tens of thousands of potential duplicates
Potential Duplicates S2S Pilot Benefits Whyis eliminating potential duplicates so important? The majority of potential duplicates are an indication of either: An error of some type or Fraud The more errors there are, the easier it is to get away with fraud
Potential Duplicates S2S Pilot Benefits S2S is helping eliminate potential duplicates reactively and proactively. Reactively: Six production state bulk loads discovered 67,000 existing potential duplicates. Cases of fraud have been found Many involve CDLIS records for drivers with a base DL in another state Proactively: Daily operations identify potential duplicates and prevent creation of new duplicates. Drivers with DL/ID card in another state identified before issuance. (20,000+ CDL holders with additional Base DL) State can make informed decision about issuance and take action to prevent the potential duplicate. (29,000 prevented to date)
Next Steps for the Pilot Program S2S Pilot Support Pilot State Implementations Complete Pilot Evaluation and Best Practices Recommendations Complete Highway Safety Plan Recommendations Seek additional funding to implement the recommendations of the pilot and the highway safety plan Prepare to Transition Governance to AAMVA Establish AAMVA Governance Committee Implement Fee Model starting March 2017
State to State (S2S)Verification ServiceFunding Opportunities
Grant Funding Opportunities Both NHTSA and DHS have acknowledged that S2S is an eligible use of these grant monies, which are available annually to all states. For more information concerning the NHTSA and DHS grant programs please visit: NHTSA 405c Formula Grants http://www.nhtsa.gov/About+NHTSA/Highway+Safety+Grant+Programs and DHS Grant Program (HSGP) http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=281548. States are also exploring the use of grants from FMCSA to support the level of effort required for states to resolve the large number of potential duplicates, especially those involving a CDLIS pointer and a Non-CDLIS pointer.
