There are 18 Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in Kerala, each headed by a Regional Transport Officer, and 69 Sub-Regional Transport Offices (SRTOs), each headed by a Joint Regional Transport Officer (JRTO). In addition, there are 14 Enforcement RTOs responsible for enforcing the Motor Vehicles Act and Rules, as well as overseeing road safety enforcement and related duties.
Government of Kerala has repeatedly intimated multiple legislative members that there are no plans to setup any new RTOs/SRTOs in Kerala unless the financial condition of Kerala improves.
