The Transportation Code requires all cities to allocate fine money collected for traffic convictions in a certain manner in the city's budget.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for large cities
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is budgeting accountability for traffic fines. The Transportation Code sets rules about how money collected from traffic convictions must be handled in a city’s budget, not just treated as extra income. The idea is that these fines are tied to transportation-related costs and activities, so they must be allocated to appropriate funds or programs—such as street maintenance, transportation safety initiatives, or enforcement costs—and clearly reflected in the city’s budget. This ensures transparency about how fines are used and prevents them from being simply absorbed into the general fund without a designated purpose.

So, the statement is true because the code requires this specific allocation in the budget. It’s not limited to large cities, and it’s not left unspecified.
