City Police Unveil Lights On Program Providing Vouchers For Vehicle Light Replacement To Low Income, People Of Color Wednesday, May 19, 2021 - by Joseph Dycus
Chattanooga Police Chief David Roddy on Wednesday announced the “Lights On Program” which is aimed at reducing the number of light-related citations among Chattanooga’s low-income communities and its communities of color. Instead of receiving a citation, a CPD officer can instead give the driver a $250 voucher to fix the lights which caused the citation.
“The voucher is good for two weeks, so they don’t fly around in perpetuity since we have to track these things and we have processes in place to study the data,” Chief Roddy said. “If an individual is unable to use the voucher in two weeks and gets pulled over again, the officer has the discretion to give them another voucher. ”
