To be eligible for Electronic Mitigation or Contested hearing, you must have already received a hearing date from the court. Please do not proceed unless you have a valid hearing date.

Mitigation Hearing Defined

You admit to committing the violation(s), but would like to explain the circumstances and be considered for a reduction in the penalty amount. If "Traffic" is marked on your infraction, the charge will be reported to Department of Licensing. Parking tickets are civil infractions and do not appear on your driving record.

Contested Hearing Defined

You are contesting or challenging the charge(s) and are asking the state or city to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the charge(s) was committed. If the charge(s) is found committed and "Traffic" is marked on the infraction, the charge will be reported to Department of Licensing.
