The Department of Transport (DoT) is developing a tool known as an Application Programming Interface (API) to allow on-demand booking services (ODBS) to receive prescribed, relevant information about their drivers and vehicles automatically from DoT straight to their own systems. An API is simply a way for two different computer programs to talk to each other.

Currently, ODBSs and other authorised entities can manually access the Driver and Vehicle Industry Dashboard (DVID) by logging into DoTDirect. The proposed API will allow ODBSs to automate this process, creating efficiencies and time savings for their business.

The API will not replace the DVID – access to the DVID will remain as is. The API will merely provide an additional option for businesses to utilise.

As such, we are seeking your feedback as an ODBS, entity with DVID access, or industry software provider, to help us build the best system possible.
