Frequently Asked Questions
AdventFS manages traffic diversion and other programs for County Attorneys across the state, including the County Attorney Traffic Safety (CATS) program.
Under KY law, County Attorneys can allow some drivers who meet appropriate criteria to take a traffic safety program in lieu of paying for the citation. When you pay your citation, you effectively plead guilty to the charge and that offense goes on your driving record. By going through traffic diversion, your traffic citation is dismissed, and that offense will not go on your record. There is no obligation for you to takes this course, and you can choose to pay your citation instead.
The CATS Program™ consists of online educational materials about driving safety and requires you to answer questions correctly throughout in order to pass the course. The course typically takes about one hour to complete on your PC, tablet or smart phone.
The County Attorney’s Office will be notified as soon as you pass or fail the course. Once you pass the course, the County Attorney will notify the Courts that the charges have been dismissed. You will be provided a Certificate of Completion as well to keep for your records.
