History

In 1966, when Haryana was carved out of Punjab there arose a need of separate transport unit which would connect every part of the state with other parts effectively. So, in 1966 HRTL was established with two Regional Transport Authorities. On December 1, 1987, three RTAs were appointed at Ambala, Hisar and Faridabad. On January 16, 1991, three more RTAs were created at Rohtak, Karnal and Rewari.[1] Now, each district headquarters has Regional Transport Office (RTO) headed by Regional Transport Secretary and vehicle registration and driving licenses can be obtained from each district headquarters (RTA office) and Tehsil headquarters (usually SDO-Civil i.e. Subdivisional officer - Civil).[2]
