The Philadelphia Traffic Court was abolished on June 19, 2013, after Gov. Tom Corbett signed legislation that was approved by both houses of the legislature. The Traffic Court had developed a poor reputation over the years. The elimination of the court followed nine federal indictments against current and former Traffic Court judges related to a ticket-fixing scandal. The functions of the court were moved to the Philadelphia Municipal Court.[1]
