3. What is Mitigation?

Ticket Mitigation is when you admit to committing the violation(s) but would like to be considered for a reduction in fines. During this process you may comment on your side of the story. You understand that this ticket can appear on your driving record if "Traffic" is checked on the front. Parking tickets are civil infractions which do not appear on your driving record.

4. How do I set a hearing date?

A hearing date is obtained when you mark the hearing option on the back of your ticket, sign, and return the paper to the court, either via mail or in person.

5. How much will my ticket be reduced?

The following are example reductions if you qualify for a reduction under Mitigation Guidelines:

- $224 reduced to $180
