Rancho Cordova Documents

Some of Rancho Cordova's tickets can possibly be ignored.  If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is what I call a "Snitch Ticket."  For more details, see the Snitch Ticket section on the Your Ticket page.

Ticket Counts

Total Violations, Notices Printed [4]

(The first camera went live on Dec. 12, 2012.)

Chart updated on 5-16-13

This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official reports provided by the City under the California Public Records Act.

Official report, Nov. 2012 - Mar. 2013
Official reports, Feb. & Mar. 2013
Official reports, Jan. - Apr. 2013

[  ] indicates a footnote.
[1]  Totals are as provided by the City.
[2]  YTD = Year-to-date total.
[3]  Un-used columns are to allow for later expansion of City's system.
[4]  Except where noted otherwise, the figures given in the table are for the single calendar month indicated.  Any figures in red type (or, if you are looking at this table in black and white, the upper figure when there are two or more figures in a cell) are what RedFlex calls Total Violations, or all incidents recorded by the cameras, and due to time limitations may have been posted here only for selected months or locations.  If there is sufficient public interest, the remaining months will be posted.  The figures in black type are what RedFlex calls Notices Printed, and represent the sum of genuine citations issued (those filed with the court) plus any Nominations mailed (not filed with the court, a.k.a. Snitch Tickets).
[5]  Data was requested on:
[6]  The camera enforcement is believed to be on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction of enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left, right) is not yet available.
[7]  Includes enforcement of posted "no turn on red" signs.
[8]  The title bar has been repeated solely for the convenience of the reader - there is no difference between it and the one at the top of the table.
[9]  The official report for this month was generated just a few days after the end of the month, so may not show the full quantity of tickets eventually issued for the month.

"Late Time" Graphs

The City provided bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera.
These graphs track violations recorded, not tickets issued.
Where there is a large number of long Late Time violations in a curb lane, it is believed to indicate heavy ticketing on right turns.
(The curb lane will be the lane with the highest lane number.)


The picture above is an example from another city.

  Three months of operation

Bar graphs are available for more than fifty other cities - see the list in the expanded version of Defect # 9.

The Contract, Etc.

In Feb. 2010 the city council adopted 4 - 1 (Ayes: Budge, McGarvey, Sander, Skoglund; Nay: Cooley) a resolution allowing the city manager to negotiate and sign a contract with RedFlex. 
In Feb. 2011 the city council adopted 3 - 1 (Ayes: Budge, McGarvey, Skoglund; Nay: Cooley; Absent: Sander) a resolution with revised payment terms.

Published notice for the Public Hearing
Feb. 2010 Staff Report and Draft Contract
Feb. 2010 Minutes
Feb. 2011 Staff Report and Draft Contract
Feb. 2011 Minutes
Feb. 2011 Signed Contract

The contract may be cost neutral, as it includes (in its Exhibit D) an adjustment for "financial insolvency."  See Subsection B. of Defect # 10.

The first cameras went live on Dec. 12, 2012.

  The terms of Councilmembers Budge and Skoglund expire in Nov. 2014.


The contract also says:  Definitions.  "Warning Period" means a period after the Installation Date of the first intersection approach, wherein only warning notices shall be issued...."  (Emphasis added.)  See Defect # 6.

This list of contracts and amendments may not be up-to-date - there could be a contract or amendment later than the ones listed above.
