Authored By: California Courts Self Help Guide

Information

This online system is an optional way to request a reduction for your infraction citation in cases of financial need. It cannot be used to sign up for traffic school. Please contact your court first if you wish to sign up for traffic school.

You can use this tool to:
(1) Request a reduction to your ticket
(2) Request a payment plan
(3) Request community service
or (4) Request more time to pay your ticket


Do not use this tool:
If you wish to contest the ticket, if you have proof of correction and would like a dismissal or reduction of those charges, if your offense is a misdemeanor violation, to sign up for traffic school. Please refer to your courtesy notice or contact your court instead.

 

All California Courts should be using this site by June 2024.
