Traffic School Information
Traffic School Eligibility
You may only attend traffic school for moving violations. You may NOT attend traffic school if any of the following occur: (1) if violation is a misdemeanor; (2) if violation is alcohol related; (3) if mandatory court appearance is required; (4) if you have attended traffic school anywhere within the last 18 months; or (5) if you were cited for driving in excess of 25 miles per hour over the speed limit.
Traffic School Fees
You will be required to pay a fee in the sum of $52.00, plus the amount of bail indicated on your courtesy notice, payable to "Superior Court". There will be a separate fee at the class you attend.
Where and when to report if you would like to appear in court
If you would like to contest the traffic citation you must request that your case be set for a court trial. The Court will arrange to have the officer that issued the ticket present for the trial.
Requesting a Court Trial
You will need to request a court trial in writing indicating that you are aware you may no longer have the option of traffic school. You may also request a court trial via our automated phone system or our online system. You must post bail in order to complete your request for a court trial (per VC40519). You will be notified of your trial date by mail.
Posting your bail
You can post your bail by credit/debit card, check, cash, or money order. Automated phone system can be used by dialing 831-636-4057 or our portal:
Requesting Traffic School
If you are found guilty at trial or through the trial by written declaration process, you may still request to attend traffic school at trial. The judicial officer hearing your case may allow you to attend traffic school based on the circumstances of your specific case. Individuals who choose to go to trial are not automatically eligible for traffic school.
