This page is intended to provide points of contact for lighting enforcement officials with federal, state, or local agencies.  As you can see, the list is rather short, but it is just getting started.

As noted on the home page, this website is not affiliated with any federal, state, or local agency and is simply providing publicly available information regarding motor vehicle lighting and available laws.  The listing of any official on this page is not an indication of his/her organizations endorsement of this site, or the views expressed within.

If you would like to be included in this listing as a resource for motor vehicle lighting enforcement issues in your community, please send us your name, title, organization, and organization web address for motor vehicle lighting related issues (or the main page).  Your request must come from your "official" organization email account to be considered, and this address will be listed below.  If a request is received from, for example, "cops@bigstick.com," it will be discarded because bigstick is not a recognized agency that would deal with the enforcement of motor vehicle lighting laws.  However, if you are a trooper, state inspector, state DOT, local LEO,  Customs agent, etc... we would like to include you here for the benefit of other enforcement officials and the consumer.
