I have received a traffic ticket - what do I do now?

There are three ways to answer a traffic ticket:

  1. Plead Guilty by mail (Section A of your ticket). Print your name and current address, including zip code, date, and sign. A fine and surcharge will be imposed by the Court and you will be notified by mail, with payment instructions.
  2. Plead Not Guilty by mail (Section B of your ticket). Print your name and current address, including zip code, date, and sign. A new court date will be mailed to you at which time you will be scheduled for a conference with the Assistant District Attorney assigned to Irondequoit Town Court. This should not be understood as a personal appointment and traffic matters are heard at the end of the criminal docket.
  3. Personally appear on the court date stated on the face of your ticket (located at the lower left corner of your ticket). The Assistant District Attorney will screen your ticket at that date and time.
