Louisville Municipal Court recorded 1,790 violations filed from Jan. 1 through Nov. 4, 2026, exceeding the 1,169 filed during all of 2025. The court’s 2026 report covers the partial year; its 2025 report covers Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. Both count violations by filing date, not convictions or other case outcomes.
Court presentation materials, with figures through Nov. 3, attributed much of the higher caseload to a Louisville Police Department safety campaign and said speeding and other moving violations made up most tickets, according to the court presentation.
The same court update materials attributed lower-than-2024 numbers of unregistered-vehicle and parking violations to a Code Enforcement Officer vacancy, the city’s court update report says.
The Summer Traffic Safety Campaign ran from April 5 through Sept. 30. The city says it included grant-supported seat-belt, impaired-driving and high-visibility enforcement, as well as an emphasis on bicycle, e-bike and e-moto laws. Louisville reported 2,866 traffic contacts and 1,154 citations during the campaign, city campaign materials show. The materials do not break out how many campaign citations were referred to Municipal Court.
