THE UNIFORM TRAFFIC TICKET STUDY

The study examines traffic ticket processing in 3 states using and 3 states not using a Uniform Traffic Ticket (UTT) statewide to determine why all states do not use this effective tool widely endorsed by many users. The report identifies ambiguous interpretations of "the UTT" and describes a "Reference System" which specifies the basic features and processing steps for a statewide UTT system. The Reference System is an expansion of the original 1957 concept of a uniform traffic citation with model rules for traffic courts. The Reference System is used as an informal standard for comparing and reporting on the operations of the six states observed in the study.
