STANDARD FOR ELECTRONIC FILING FROM AUTOMATED TRAFFIC CITATION DEVICES



The Los Angeles Superior Court hereby announces its Standard for Electronic Filing from Traffic Automated Citation Devices (Traffic ACD). The Court will require compliance with this Standard for the implementation of all new Traffic ACD projects. Future impacts of the Standard on existing Traffic ACD projects will be discussed with the relevant law enforcement agencies.

The Standard is intended to promote electronic transmission of traffic citation data and electronic images to the Court to minimize data entry and paper handling for all concerned while maximizing accuracy, achieving substantial savings of time and money and improving management information. The Standard facilitates planning, coordination, and implementation. It reflects outcomes of the Automated Citation Device Pilot Program undertaken by the Court and California Highway Patrol in cooperation with the State of California Office of Traffic Safety, and incorporates NCIC 2000 Code Manual and California DMV abbreviation standards. It requires use of the Judicial Council TR-130 Traffic/Non-Traffic Notice to Appear (Rev. 01-01-04) form.

The Standard consists of a Traffic ACD Project Requirements Document and attached file layouts and naming conventions, code tables, document formats, and data transmission guidelines. To download the Standard documents, click here.

Members of the justice community should contact the Court when initiating Traffic ACD projects. Upon receiving proposals for new projects, and as required, the Court will provide estimates of any Court charges for the cost of project setup, testing, production issues and exception processing. The Court looks forward to working with other justice agencies on projects that promote interagency collaboration and coordination.
