The Traffic Education Program (TEP) provides eligible drivers with an opportunity to have certain traffic tickets dismissed while receiving education designed to promote safer driving habits and maintain a clean driving record.
TEP Process & Requirements
Eligibility
A person may be considered for the Traffic Education Program if they have no significant history of traffic violations.
An individual may participate in a traffic education program only once.
Requirements
Participants must complete four hours of community service and attend a four-hour defensive driving class approved by the Traffic Education Program.
Participants must also have no new traffic citations for six months from the date of the original violation.
Completion
Upon successful completion of all Traffic Education Program requirements, the court will be notified to dismiss the ticket.
If a participant does not successfully complete the program, the ticket will be referred back to the original court for prosecution.
