      <title>Effective Practices to Integrate Traffic Citation and Adjudication (TCA) Data </title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/2431642</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This project is to compile effective practices to integrate Traffic Citation and Adjudication (TCA) datasets and provide a synthesis of the same so as to enhance safety for road users. Further, it will outline critical steps to help adopt such practices in Nevada. Key project activities will include a review of the literature, federal, state, and local legislation and regulations, possible case studies, interviews with key individuals and organizations, and briefings of stakeholders. 
Repeat violators of traffic laws pose substantial risk and cause irreversible harm to road users. The disconnect between law enforcement officers (LEOs) / law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and the judiciary / judicial processes often leads to such individuals not being identified in a timely manner. Such identification would enable interventions that could avert avoidable adverse safety outcomes resulting from actions of these road users. The disconnect may be due to policies, programs, practices, or processes related to completing the various steps between a LE officer interacting with a road user and any potential adjudication outcomes. 
To try to avoid (or at least reduce the potential for) repeat violators of traffic rules and regulations causing irreparable harm to road users, key gaps in the “system” need to be eliminated. The gaps include procedural steps and timeliness of actions and access to data such as gaps between when an LEO interacts with a motorist and issues a warning or a citation, how this is recorded in database, how the data / records are made available with minimal latency to other LEOs, who has access to these databases, how these databases are linked to the court system, and how the adjudication process and their outcomes are linked back to the citation system.

      <title>Tracking State Traffic Citation and Adjudication Outcomes</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/1492254</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The objective of this research was to develop a methodology that enables and facilitates tracking of cases from citation/arrest to final disposition. The research (1) examined and documented state traffic adjudication/disposition efforts that (a) identifies current practices in all states for tracking cases from citation/arrest to final disposition (including driver history); (b) identifies commonalities and differences in state practices; (c) describes current challenges and gaps in data collection, quality, tracking, and sharing; (2) suggested methods for data sharing, permissions, and accessibility; and (3) developed a toolkit of innovative strategies to facilitate communication between state highway safety offices and adjudication decision makers.
 
Completed. The final report is available here:
