California Traffic Safety Institute

California Traffic Safety Institute (CTSI) is a non-profit company, which has been providing staffing and monitoring services to the California Courts in the administration of individual court approved traffic violator schools since June 27, 1985.

CTSI operates under the legislative authority of CVC 11205 (l) and (m) as amended in September 1991.

Pursuant to AB2499, which was passed in the 2009-2010 legislative session, effective July 1, 2011, traffic violations where a defendant has elected or been ordered to attend a traffic violator school will no longer be a dismissal on the driving record. They will now become a confidential conviction.

A confidential conviction will mask the violation from your public record. Insurance companies will not see the confidential conviction.

A traffic violator school conviction will not be masked if:

There is a prior TVS dismissal/conviction within the previous 18 months.
The conviction is a major (2 point) violation (DUI or Reckless Driving)
The driver holds a commercial driver's license or was operating a commercial vehicle at the time of the violation.

We're committed to ensuring that you receive a quality educational traffic school program. To that end, your input is needed and very much appreciated. If you have recently completed a traffic school program, please click here and fill out our short survey.
