2007 and increased emphasis is placed on licensing fully mutated vehicles over minimal contributors
The DMV ran well and had very few real problems this year. The DMV had a significant increase in the number of pre-registration applications for mutant vehicles , and we licensed a record number of vehicles to drive on the playa.
The most notable change for the DMV this year was our prominent placement on the Esplanade, at 6:30. Our placement resulted in two major benefits: (1) It allowed for ample room for Mutant Vehicles (MVs) to park and be reviewed, and (2) it created a nightly spectacle of MVs in a place that everyone could enjoy the show. We look forward to bringing Black Rock City the same show next year.
We streamlined some of our licensing processes, and were internally more organized this year than in 2006. Paperwork and reference list improvements made it possible to license more vehicles in the same amount of time as last year.
There were also a few challenges. Taking On-Playa MV pictures remains a challenge, and we will be carefully reviewing the picture process for 2008.
We look forward to continuing to grow our ranks and refine our pre- and on-playa processes. We encourage anyone with concerns or suggestions to contact us.

Rangers and Law Enforcement
Although the Rangers continued their efforts to interact on positive terms with law enforcement and other outside agencies, 2007 saw a spike in citations issued by Bureau of Land Management law enforcement officers, out of proportion to the increase in population. The Rangers also observed that some law enforcement seemed out of synch with the unique nature of the Burning Man event. This development was difficult when compared to relations in 2006.
Rangers will continue their efforts year-round, on and off the playa to address participant concerns in this area and to promote a balance between safeguarding the community and allowing for free expression and peaceful enjoyment of the event by all.
Intercept
For the past several years, the Rangers have made vehicle safety a priority. The Intercept team operates nightly on the playa to interact with, educate, and when necessary, eject vehicles that are operating outside the guidelines of safety on the playa. Although thinly staffed this year, the Intercept team managed to be quite effective. The efforts of this team in educating participants are clearly paying off.
