21   The primary products from this project are a series of deliverables designed to provide acces- sible strategies and solutions for improving citation and adjudication data tracking. These will be briefly described here and presented in Appendices B to F. 1. A summary presentation entitled Tracking State Traffic Citation and Adjudication Outcomes: Summary Presentation provides an overview of the project and includes detailed notes that agencies can use to inform their discussions with other stakeholder groups. Slides may be printed individually to act as references to support efforts at process improvement. Presenta- tion slides are located in Appendix B. 2. A technical memorandum entitled Implementation of Research Findings and Products (a) provides recommendations on how to best put the research findings/products into prac- tice; (b) identifies possible institutions that might take leadership in applying the research findings/products; (c) identifies issues affecting potential implementation of the findings/ products and recommends possible actions to address these issues; and (d) recommends methods of identifying and measuring the impacts associated with the implementation of the findings/products. The technical memorandum is included as Appendix C. 3. An interactive toolkit entitled Toolkit for Improving Citation and Adjudication Tracking: Inter- active Challenges, Strategies & Solutions is based on a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that, when viewed in slideshow mode, provides users with interactive strategies including voiceovers for further description. This toolkit is designed to be used by stakeholders to sup- port their decision-making, engagement, and outreach efforts. Slides from the toolkit are pre- sented in Appendix D and the script for the voiceover is presented in Appendix E. For full interactivity, the original presentation, available on the National Academies Press website (nap. nationalacademies.org) by searching for BTSCRP Research Report 5: Strategies to Improve State Traffic Citation and Adjudication Outcomes, is recommended. 4. Fact sheets presenting further resources and state-by-state summaries of unification status. Resources for Improving Citation and Adjudication Tracking is presented in Appendix F, while the information provided in the State Unification Summaries is incorporated into Appendix A.

The ability of state agencies to track citation, adjudication, and disposition data accurately and effectively is essential for the identification and appropriate adjudication of problem drivers and habitual offenders. Efficient data tracking can provide benefits at all steps of the citation-adjudication process, from providing real-time information and safer roadside stops for law enforcement officers to reducing errors and improving transmission speed during the adjudication stage to facilitating data storage and effective analyses following disposition.

The TRB Behavorial Transportation Safety Cooperative Research Program's BTSCRP Research Report 5: Strategies to Improve State Traffic Citation and Adjudication Outcomes identifies challenges and barriers to effective citation data tracking along with proven strategies and solutions to address these challenges, with the goal of developing a series of practical and meaningful steps that state highway safety officials could use to implement these strategies.

Supplemental to the report is Toolkit for Improving Citation and Adjudication Tracking, which is a PowerPoint presentation with voiceover components. Slides from the toolkit are presented in Appendix D and the script for the voiceover is included in Appendix E.
