Annotation

The Special Adjudication for Enforcement (SAFE) Project was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using informal parajudicial for adjudication of non-mandatory moving traffic violations (those offenses not requiring mandatory appearance in court).

Abstract

The SAFE procedures were intended to simplify the administrative tasks associated with the traditional arraignment/trial process. Evaluation based on fifteen months of operations has indicated that the project was easily and quickly incorporated into the existing District Courts system and reduced the administrative and judicial burden on the courts. The SAFE Project was continued with local funds after the NHTSA demonstration project was concluded. The document is an Executive Summary and outlines the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the project's final report. (NTIS abstract)
