To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:
An export of data from all tables of Universal Traffic Ticket (UTT) related data from New York’s Traffic Safety Law Enforcement and Disposition (TSLED) and Administrative Adjudication (AA) systems. We are requesting data starting in 2003 through the most recent year with full data availability in the TSLED and AA systems.
From our research we believe this data is collected by various New York State law enforcement agencies and processed with the Traffic and Criminal Software (TraCS). Furthermore, based on the New York State FFY 2024 - 2026 Triennial Highway Safety Plan [found here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2023-10/NY_FY24HSP-tag.pdf] we have reason to believe that UTT data from TraCS is sent electronically to a central repository, maintained by the NYS ITS (Office of Information Technology Services) before being delivered from the repository to the NYS DMV. Furthermore, based on the Dec. '19 TraCS System Study [found here: http://fltrafficrecords.com/pdf/TraCS%20System%20Study%20-%20Final%20Report%20with%20Appendices.pdf] for the Florida Department of Transportation State Safety Office that New York State Police participated in, we believe that electronic UTT data was first collected via TraCS in 2003 and about 67% of all vehicle tickets given out in New York State are process through TraCS and in the TSLED and AA.
Specifically, based on our knowledge the following forms/sections in TraCS should contain some — but not all — of the UTT data we are requesting:
"Violations"
"Individual"
"Vehicle"
"Location"
"Court"
"Sub Dep"
"OfficersNotes"
"Attach 1"
Additionally, these are some — but not all — of the detailed data values that are collected in the TraCS system that we are requesting:
"Ticket Number"
"Police Agency"
"Sequence #"
"Local Police Code"
"Photo Lic Shown"
"Last Name(Defendant)"
"First Name"
"MI"
"Suffix"
"Number and Street"
"Apt. No."
"City"
"State"
"Zip Code"
"Client ID Number"
"Lic State"
"Lic Class"
"Date Expires"
"Sex"
"Date of Birth"
"CDL Veh"
"Bus"
"HazMa"
"Plate Number"
"Reg Expires (Optional)"
"Reg. State"
"Color"
"Veh. Type"
"Year"
"Make"
"Own Veh"
"Registered Weight"
"Actual Weight"
"No. Axles"
"U.S. DOT Number"
"Out of Serv."
"Date of Offense"
"Time"
"Co."
"C/T/V Name"
"Loc. Code"
We are also requesting any supplementary resources the DMV or ITS has that documents the data in ITS repository and/or the TSLED and AA such as but not limited to data dictionaries, database documentation files, data logs, or other supplementary informational materials.
We request these records in their native digital formats and not in formats that degrade the accessibility of the records, such as tabular data converted to PDF or Word files. If converting the native digital format to another high-fidelity format, such as CSV or Excel, please take care not to introduce formatting inconsistencies or errors, which can occur in the conversion process (for example, encoding errors or the inclusion of internal unescaped quotation marks in CSV files). Should the records above represent certain values as numeric codes or abbreviations that are not self-explanatory, we additionally request all records necessary to interpret those codes and abbreviations. The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
Please provide the requested records by the fifth business day after your receipt of this e-mail today. If there will be a delay in meeting this request, kindly acknowledge receipt of this request within five business days, pursuant to Public Officers Law § 89[3] and 21 NYCRR § 1401.5(c)(3), and provide an estimate of the specific date by which a final determination on this request will be provided. If a final determination will not be made within 20 business days of your acknowledgment, please provide a written explanation of the reasons for your agency's inability to grant the request within such time period and specify a date certain within a reasonable period of time when this request will be granted in whole or in part, as required by Public Officers Law § 89[3] and 21 NYCRR § 1401.5(c)(4).
If further clarification is needed in order for your agency to locate the requested records, please immediately contact me. In accordance with 18 NYCRR § 340.3(c), I ask that you and your staff "make reasonable efforts to assist" me "in identifying the records" being sought, prior to denying this request. See the July 17, 2006 Advisory Opinion FOIL-AO-16073 of the Committee on Open Government of the New York State Department of State [available at: http://www.dos.state.ny.us/coog/ftext/f16073.htm]
If any of the requested records are not in your agency's possession or cannot be located after a diligent search, kindly provide me with your certification to that effect in accordance with Public Officers Law § 89[3] and 18 NYCRR § 340.3(g). If any of the exact requested records are available on your agency's Internet web site, it will be sufficient to provide me with the specific Uniform Resource Locator (URL) where such records can be downloaded in lieu of sending me an electronic or hard copy of the actual document. Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this matter.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

The lowest paid employee in my office capable of performing the query and search of the systems is a Grade 18, the hourly salary rate with fringe is $60.66. Pursuant to Public Officer’s Law §87(1)(c)(iv) the labor cost to complete the query and search of the files is $2669.04. Because of the considerable time this request requires, the Agency needs to be paid in advance for the work. If we have overestimated the amount of time this process will take, any overpayment will be refunded to you. If we have underestimated the time this process will take, we will notify you of the additional cost. Kindly forward payment in the amount of $2669.04 and we will process your request. If we do not receive payment by April 29, 2025, we will close our file on this request.
If you feel you have been denied access to a record to which you are entitled you may file an appeal in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of this correspondence, addressed to the Department of Motor Vehicles, FOIL Appeals Officer, P.O. Box 2935, Albany, New York 12220-0935.

From: Adrian Nesta
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Adrian Nesta and I am the requester behind the request reference number R000393-021825 to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYS DMV). I am writing in search of further information about the $2,669.04 fee that was assessed to complete my request due to an estimated 44 hours of work a Grade 18 employee would be required to do in order to complete the request. Specifically, I'm looking for a more detailed explanation as to how the assessment of both the time period needed and the type of employee required to fulfill the request was determined.
From my understanding of 21 NYCRR PART 1401.8(c)(d) the NYS DMV's response indicates that the agency does have the ability to retrieve the data specified in my request but based on 21 NYCRR PART 1401.8(c) have determined that there is a cost associated with reproducing the data. According to 21 NYCRR PART 1401.8(c)(i) the NYS DMV has determined that reproduction cost is 44 hours of work for a Grade 18 employee and has informed me of said costs according to 21 NYCRR PART 1401.8(e).
My request is for the entire underlying Universal Traffic Ticket (UTT) data in the Traffic Safety Law Enforcement and Disposition (TSLED) and Administrative Adjudication (AA) systems. From my understanding this request should not require NYS DMV employee(s) to do extensive searching or querying for data beyond excluding columns/fields that need to be redacted due to privacy concerns and thus excluded. Most database programs have some kind of data export functionality that would enable straightforward data retrieval. Data can then be redacted afterwards to fit within privacy requirements related to the request. Alternatively, a relatively simple SELECT SQL query could accomplish a similar data export. My hope was that the data and documentation retrieval would fall under two hours of employee time and thus according to 21 NYCRR PART 1401.8(c)(i) not require a fee.
With more specific information about the estimated time frame needed to complete the request I will be able to potentially modify it in order to reduce the time or employee grade needed to fulfill the request and thus reduce or eliminate the associated fee. Thank you for fielding my inquiry and I look forward to receiving your response with more details.
Kindly,
Adrian
