The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on “Building Stronger Traffic Data from a CSP, NODS & State Implementation Perspective” on Thursday, April 16, from 1 to 2 p.m. via Zoom.
High-quality traffic case data is essential for understanding court operations, identifying trends, and supporting data-informed decision-making — particularly for complex case types such as Commercial Driver's License (CDL) matters, where data may intersect with multiple agencies and systems.
This Driving Justice Collective webinar will explore how national standards and state-level implementation efforts work together to improve the consistency, comparability, and usability of traffic data.
Attendees will hear an overview of the Court Statistics Project (CSP) and learn about its long-standing role in producing nationally comparable court data, including how standardized definitions support meaningful comparisons across states and case types. The discussion will then shift to the National Open Court Data Standards (NODS) for traffic, highlighting how more detailed data elements can enhance a court's ability to collect, organize, and analyze information related to traffic offenses and CDL-specific considerations.
Lastly, participants will hear how Arizona implements required data elements for traffic cases, with practical considerations for CDL and civil traffic cases, data dependencies with external agencies, classification challenges, and early implementation decisions that shape future analytical potential.
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
• Explain the role of Court Statistics Project (CSP) in supporting consistent reporting and comparison of traffic court data across jurisdictions.
• Describe how traffic-specific NODS data elements can support more detailed analysis, operational insights, and future research beyond traditional reporting.
• Identify key lessons from Arizona’s implementation experience, including benefits, challenges, and key considerations courts should keep in mind when adopting standardized traffic data elements.
Speaking at the webinar will be:
• Sarah Gibson, data scientist, NCSC
• Andrew Ranson, senior court research associate, NCSC
• Laura Ritenour, caseflow management specialist, Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts
• Moderator Rachel L. Buck, senior court management consultant, NCSC
