Tickets received from automated enforcement are handled in much the same way as regular traffic tickets. Information on how to pay an automated enforcement violation is on the back of the ticket. For more details regarding the automated enforcement program, click here.

First Offenders is a nine-month program for juveniles only who have received their first and only traffic ticket. The juvenile must complete six hours of community service and attend one "driving, drugs & alcohol" class. If the juvenile does not receive another ticket during the nine months, the traffic ticket is dismissed at cost, which is $60 and the ticket does not go on the juvenile's record.

If the parent does not wish for their child to participate in the program, the parent can pay the ticket. However, the violation will be reported to the state.
