Yes, all traffic violations and infractions transfer over, from one state to another. (Or at least they are supposed to; it's not impossible that sometimes there is an adminstrative oversight and they don'tl.) All 50 states are members of an interstate "compact" or agreement under which they all honor each other's traffic infractions and report traffic infractions to each other.
