Coordinated Court Services (CCS) provides traffic-court related services including traditional and home-study traffic school monitoring, staffing services, automated systems and other equipment to courts throughout the State of California pursuant to Section 11205 of the California Vehicle Code. This code section requires the courts to contract with a non-profit agency, such as CCS, in order to collect and expend the revenues to fund these services.

Each contracting court is provided with an itemized statement showing exactly how its monitoring, staffing, and/or other funds are expended.

Home Study Monitoring

We provide a home study traffic school monitoring program that is an effective viable alternative to the problematic, impractical, and expensive proctoring process. Proctoring can require unreasonable travel time and distance for traffic violators who may live outside the county or state, which makes test proctoring very difficult or virtually impossible. The conventional proctoring process negates the value of "home study programs" when students must travel to a location for test proctoring.

Our unique program offers a proven, more practical alternative that maintains high integrity of home study monitoring. Our effective monitoring program has been successfully developed and implemented for more than 6 years and is currently used by Stanislaus, Riverside, Butte, Napa, Santa Cruz, Tuolumne, Mariposa and Lassen Courts.

Our services include a complete course review to ensure that it meets a minimum curriculum standard equal to the DMV requirements for licensed traffic schools. Based on these high standards, we have developed over 200 high integrity test questions in both English and Spanish and prepared a series of 40 questions tests for each court approved home study program. We provide third party grading on all home study tests issuing a uniform completion certificate to all who successfully pass the test.

Traffic Violator School Professional Monitoring Services

We provide professional monitoring services of traffic violator schools as authorized under C.V.C 11205(l)-(m) allowing courts to contract with a non-profit organization and to assess a fee from traffic violators who are ordered, or choose to attend traffic violator school programs. This fee is used by the non-profit to defray the monitoring and related costs of providing these services.

Staffing

CCS provides staffing to its contract courts if that is the courts' desire.  CCS staff generally work the court traffic school window, determining eligibility and collecting appropriate fees for a citee to go to traffic school.  The staff also receive completion certificates and update computer systems with student information.  Staff also responds to telephone, mail and in-person inquiries regarding traffic school.

The courts' use of CCS staff for processing traffic school matters allows the regular court staff to concentrate on other areas of work.

Equipment

CCS has partnered with several companies to provide equipment and other services to its contract courts.  Utilizing the funding the court receives under CVC Section 11205, under the court's direction CCS has purchased for use by Police agencies Enforcement Technologies "AutoCite" hand-held traffic citation issuing computers.  This system allows daily updating of citations issued by downloading information that previously required manual data entry.

CCS has purchased computers, printers, software, copying machines, automated phone answering systems, and fax machines for its contract courts.

CCS has also contracted on the courts behalf with companies that develop web sites and automated traffic citation processing systems.

CCS can and will provide anything its contract courts require as long as the funding is available under Section 11205 of the California Vehicle Code.
