To qualify for a program you must meet the standards established for the specific program. Most often that will include:

• The ticket involving a single moving violation.
• No convictions for a moving violation or traffic crime within a specified time. (Depending on the type of violation the specified time will be either two years or five years).
• No participation in a court-supervised traffic safety class or diversion program within a specified time. (Depending on the type of violation the specified time will be either two years or five years).
• Having a valid non-commercial driver license or permit.

Program Requirements:

1. Enter a plea of No Contest.
2. Sign-up for a specific traffic school class (the court will provide the class information).
3. Pay the court diversion fee in full within the 90-day period.
4. Contact the school, pay the registration fee and register for the class.
5. Successfully complete the class.
6. Provide proof of completion of the class to the court within the 90-day period.
