The New York City Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) adjudicates a huge volume of New York City traffic tickets with the Bronx Traffic Violations Bureau handling the most tickets in the TVB system and most likely making it the busiest traffic court in the state. The Bronx TVB leading the way is not surprising given that it generates the most revenue of any of the 10 TVB courts.
With so many cases handled by a limited number of judges and staff, it is not surprising that many people perceive the TVB “courts” as factory-like and less than fair in its dispensing of justice.
