What should an ADP holder do if they receive a traffic citation while driving airside?

An Airside Driving Permit (ADP) holder is responsible for adhering to all traffic regulations and maintaining safety while operating vehicles on the airport airside. Receiving a traffic citation indicates a violation of these regulations, which must be addressed appropriately.

Promptly reporting the incident to the airport authorities is essential for several reasons. First, it ensures accountability, demonstrating that the driver acknowledges their responsibility for the incident. Second, reporting allows airport authorities to document the citation and assess any potential impacts on airport safety or operations. Third, failure to report a citation can lead to disciplinary actions against the ADP holder, including the possibility of suspending or revoking their permit.

In circumstances where an individual receives a citation, it is important to maintain proper lines of communication with the relevant authorities rather than ignoring the situation or attempting to handle it independently. Doing so fosters compliance with airport regulations and supports the overall safety and security protocols within the airside environment.
