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.
