If your payment will reach the Traffic Violation Bureau on or before your Compliance Date, pay the amount on the left side of the ticket. If your payment will reach our office after the Compliance Date, pay the amount on the right side of the ticket.

You have the option to plead “not guilty” and request a court hearing date where you can explain to the judge what happened. You will need to fill out and sign a copy of the Pleading Not Guilty form and put it in your envelope, mark the form of action “B - Request Hearing Date” on the front side of your envelope and send it to the Traffic Violation Bureau’s mailing address within 30 days from the date your citation was issued. You will receive your court date assignment in the mail at the address you provide on the form.

If you were ticketed at a parking meter or a parking space reserved for handicapped drivers, make a copy of your valid handicapped placard and send it to the Traffic Violation Bureau’s mailing address in the envelope provided with your citation within 45 days from the date your citation was issued. If you provide proof of a valid placard on or before your Compliance Date, you will not have to pay the fine. However, if you were parked in a tow-away zone, loading zone or fire lane, you are still responsible for the fine.
