Access Real Time Permits with New Online IFTA/IRP Service at Vermont.gov

The IFTA/IRP service allows out-of-state truckers and others to purchase 72-hour permits to travel through Vermont and pay apportionable fees, and is now accessible via the Internet 24 hours a day. The new service allows fleet drivers and companies to apply for permits, pay by credit card, and receive copies of new permits immediately.

"The new IRP and IFTA services are yet another way that the State of Vermont and the Department of Motor Vehicles in particular are answering the call for better e-government service," said Commissioner Robert Ide. "This new process will save time and resources for fleet trucking companies, the DMV, and the taxpayers of Vermont."

The service provides quicker turnaround times and lowers costs, significantly reducing the department's costs related to handling these requests. The new online service also provides a comprehensive management tool to help administer the permitting process.

Built for the Department of Motor Vehicles at no cost to Vermont taxpayers through a unique public-private partnership with Vermont Information Consortium (VIC), the new IRP-IFTA service is the latest in a suite of services launched by the DMV. Additional online services built by VIC include DMV Express (https://secure.vermont.gov/dmv/express), Online License Reinstatements, and the Municipal Highways & Bridges Weight Limits service.
