| | DC Auditor, Parking Ticket Adjudication Process |
 | | The Traffic Adjudication Act of 1978 decriminalized parking and minor moving violations, provided for the administrative adjudication of parking and certain moving violations, and the civilian enforcement of parking laws and regulations in the District of Columbia. |
 | | Delays in entering mail adjudication requests, and corresponding delays in suspending such tickets from delinquent collection activity until adjudicated, may have resulted in a mistaken determination that these tickets were eligible for delinquent collection activity by Lockheed, the District's delinquent parking ticket collection contractor. |
 | | Generally speaking, an administrative adjudication will be sustained on appeal so long as it is not arbitrary or capricious, contrary to the Constitution, in excess of the agency's jurisdiction, made contrary to statutory or regulatory procedures, or unsupported by substantial evidence on the record. |
