Getting Set Up To Use the Parking/Ordinance Form

The Parking/Ordinance form may be used to write citations for city/county ordinances, city/county parking violations, and civil violations such as tobacco/vaping, sexting, and Carry Concealed Weapon ID violations.

The form may be used as a citation or warning.

The form works the same way as the other TraCS forms as far as filling it out, validating, accepting, etc.

There is a Paid button that may be used by TraCS users at the agency to mark the date paid and amount paid.

There are two print options, one that has the full info (owner name, address, DOB, and vehicle info) and one that has just the vehicle info.   This is so the officers can print the copy with just the vehicle info to leave on the car so walking by won't see the owner name, address, and DOB.  

We need the following information from the agency in order to get you started:

A list of violations along with the fine if it is paid on time and the fine if it is paid late.   We need at least one violation in order for the form to work.

The number of days the violator has to pay the fine.

The full name and address of the payment location.   Phone number and website are optional.

Instructions for the violator.

The form can be used as a citation or warning. It works the same way as the other TraCS forms as far as filling it out, validating, accepting, etc.

You can attach a jpg or other image file to the citation or warning.

The citations have a Paid button that can be used by TraCS users at the agency. Right now, there are no other options to tag the citations. There is a ticket open for Amy to look at adding additional buttons like Violator Letter, Court, Administrative Hold.

We would add a block of citation numbers and warning numbers to the database that are unique to the agency the same way we do for the traffic warning.

We would add a list of your violations to the database along with the fines for each. I've attached a spreadsheet for you to fill out if you want to go forward with using the form. We need at least one violation to add to your custom file in order for the form to work.

We can customize the following information for the citation for you via local rule. What some agencies do is scan in a copy of their current citation and give it to us and we take the info from that. This info only populates on the citation, not the warning.

If Paid Within / If Paid After (number of days) Payment Information (location name, address, etc.) Agency Instructions

There are two print options, one that has the full info (owner name, address, DOB, and vehicle info) and one that has just the vehicle info. This is so the officers can print the copy with just the vehicle info to leave on the car and someone walking by can't get the owner name, address, and DOB.
