Traffic citation data, statewide and on time.
The Traffic Citation Accounting Transmission System (TCATS) is the statewide automated traffic citation collection system mandated by Section 318.18, Florida Statutes. All 67 Florida Clerks of Court use TCATS to transmit citation, disposition and D6 data from their traffic systems directly to the Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers (FCCC), keeping data moving accurately and securely between Clerks, law enforcement and state agencies.
