Traffic Amnesty Program

The Superior Court of Solano County is offering a 50-percent discount on qualifying old unpaid traffic infraction tickets. It is a limited-time "Amnesty Program" for certain outstanding court debt owed by adults or juveniles. The discount would apply to the total amount due, including the base fine and any assessments, late charges, and other fees.

The program will run from January 1, 2012, through June 30, 2012.

To inquire about juvenile tickets, contact the Juvenile Probation Department at 707-784-7631.

Only traffic infraction tickets that were due and payable before January 1, 2009 are eligible. Parking tickets, driving under the influence (DUI), and reckless driving cases are NOT eligible.  The program also does not eliminate "points" that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) adds to driving records.

The qualifications below apply to cases in Solano County only. If you have a case in another county, go to www.courts.ca.gov/find-my-court.htm to find information on other courts.
