WORCESTER, MA – November 6, 2025 – Quinsigamond Community College was recently awarded $59,912 from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The funding, which is part of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, will allow QCC’s Police Department to connect to the Motor Vehicle Automated Citation and Crash System (MACCS). The MACCS is a state-operated, browser-based platform for electronic traffic citation and crash data collection and reporting.
Additionally, in August, QCC received a $5,000 Military and First Responder Grant from CSX Transportation, which will also be used to support the transition to MACCS.
“QCC Campus Police are committed to modernizing our operations to better serve and protect our community,” said QCC Chief of Police Stephen DiGiovanni. “These grant funds will help us replace outdated manual processes with state-of-the-art equipment that connects to the Motor Vehicle Automated Citation and Crash System, which is hosted by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.”
The QCC Police Department’s transition to MACCS will streamline citation and crash reporting, enabling safer and more efficient traffic stops and crash data. This will allow officers to spend more time in the community, increasing visibility and helping prevent crime. The system also enables real-time data sharing, enhances data accuracy and accountability, increases officer safety, and supports coordinated crime reduction strategies through integrated intelligence.
