Traditionally, the Ministry of Transport has managed vehicle-related functions. However, the Vehicle and Traffic Law designates the Ministry of Justice as the primary authority. Specifically, Section 1.1(d) defines the term “Minister” as the “Minister of Justice,” and Section 11 prescribes that the Ministry of Justice shall be the chief administrative agency overseeing the enforcement of the Vehicle and Traffic Law. Additionally, the Executive Law Chapter 22.2(i) grants the Minister of Justice the responsibility to direct the administration of the Vehicle and Traffic Law of Liberia.

In 2018, the Government of Liberia entered into a concession agreement with LTMI, granting it the exclusive right to finance, design, build, operate, maintain, and transfer a comprehensive vehicle and traffic management system. This system encompasses a Traffic Ticket Management System, Vehicle Towing and Impound Management System, City Parking System, Vehicle Inspection System, and Driver Testing and Certification. LTMI was also tasked with constructing a License Plate Manufacturing Plant, developing a Driver License System, and establishing a Vehicle Registration System.
