Traffic Court

Court Appearances

You must take action by the Court Due Date shown on your Courtesy Notice. In most cases, an appearance in court is not required. If your appearance in court is required, your Courtesy Notice will indicate “Yes” next to the words “Must go to Court.”

Do not disregard your citation if you do not receive your courtesy notice in the mail. You are obligated to contact the court on or before the date listed on your citation. If you have not received a courtesy notice prior to that date, the clerk in the division may assist you with your options.

Appropriate business attire is required to appear in court. You may need to allow adequate time for parking and to check through the security entrance. You can go to the Fairfield and Vallejo visit pages for more information.

Scheduling

If your case is delinquent, contact the appropriate court branch to determine court appearance eligibility, or call 1-800-727-5848 if your case is 30 days or more past due.

By Appointment

Contacting the court on or before your court date is recommended if you are interested in scheduling a court appointment. 

Walk-Ins

A same day Walk-In hearing is no longer available. See Appearance Options below on how to request a hearing for an Arraignment or Court Trial.

Appearance Options

  1. You may appear in court for Arraignment by calling the Traffic Clerk on or before your Court Due Date and scheduling a future hearing date for Arraignment.
  2. If you want to plead not guilty and contest your ticket in court, complete the grey box on your Courtesy Notice for “Court Trial” and return it to clerk on or before your Court Due Date. The clerk will mail you a notice with a trial date. The ticketing officer will be there. You must go on that date for your trial.
  3. If you want to appear by Remote Video Appearance due to COVID-19, follow the instructions below to submit a request and required forms for remote video proceedings on or before your Court Due Date.

Remote Video Appearance

About Remote Video Proceedings (RVP)

The Solano County Superior Court is allowing remote video arraignments and trials for traffic infraction cases. (Local Rule 2.150.) RVP are available in almost all adult infraction cases. IF THE COURT PERMITS REMOTE VIDEO PROCEEDINGS (RVP), YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPEAR BY AUDIO/VIDEO WITHOUT HAVING TO APPEAR IN PERSON IN COURT. The procedure does not apply to traffic or other infractions that are filed in Informal Juvenile and Traffic Court. The procedure provides a convenient process for resolving cases with the use of two-way audiovisual communication between you and the court. Defendants who request to appear by RVP must waive (give up) certain rights that apply to trial of criminal offenses, including traffic infractions.

How RVP Works

IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN RVP YOU MUST HAVE A VALID, WORKING E-MAIL ADDRESS. You will be notified of hearing dates and you will receive an electronic link to participate in a Zoom meeting only through e-mail. To request arraignment and trial on the same day, you may file a Notice and Waiver of Rights and Request for Remote Video Arraignment and Trial (Form STR-505). To request RVP for arraignment or trial on separate days, you may file a Notice and Waiver of Rights and Request for Remote Video Proceeding (Form STR-510). You will be required to provide your own electronic devices to participate in the Zoom meeting, which can include a telephone, mobile phone, smart phone, laptop or desktop computer with audio and/or video capabilities. If your device does not have video capability you may still participate by audio.

Requesting a Remote Appearance

Review the detailed Instructions to Defendant for Remote Video Proceedings (Form STR-500-INFO). Then select one of the options listed below. Please read all options and use the link immediately following the options to submit your request for RVP to the Court electronically.

  1. To request an RVP Arraignment AND Court Trial on the same day, file a Notice and Waiver of Rights and Request for Remote Video Arraignment and Trial (Form STR-505).

Use this option if you have not yet appeared at an Arraignment hearing, wish to contest your ticket and enter a plea of not guilty, and have a Court Trial where you, the officer, and any witnesses appear remotely for a video proceeding.

  1. To request an RVP Arraignment OR Court Trial on separate days, you will need to file a Notice and Waiver of Rights and Request for Remote Video Proceedings (Form STR-510).

Use this option if you want to appear first for an Arraignment and speak directly with a judicial officer about your ticket before asking for a Court Trial.

You may also use this option if you already appeared at an Arraignment hearing, entered a plea of not guilty and now would like a Court Trial where you, the officer, and any witnesses appear remotely for a video proceeding.

  • Notice and Waiver of Rights and Request for Remote Video Arraignment and Trial (Form STR-505)
