Before you go: 5 more things to know about this court
- The Traffic Tribunal hears civil traffic tickets from the whole state, so one file covers all 5 counties. City and town municipal courts share jurisdiction for lesser offenses and use the same state fine schedule. Counties do not differ, so no county files were added. The front of a municipal court summons gives that court's contact details.[4]
- Amounts are the same statewide and are set by state law. See the state page.[5]
- A ticket can be paid without going to court within 20 days. The court says payment must arrive at least 7 days before the hearing date.[4]
- Fines set by a judge are due right after the hearing. You have 45 days before your license can be suspended for nonpayment. If you can't pay, call the Clerk's Office to ask for an ability to pay hearing.[3]
- Remote hearings can be requested with a form on the Traffic Tribunal website.[2]
