Traffic Tickets
The Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office is responsible for prosecuting all criminal matters in Onondaga County, including Vehicle and Traffic (V&T) violations. Attorneys and civilians may submit Vehicle and Traffic (V&T) violations through this portal.
As a civilian, you may hire an attorney to represent you regarding V&T matters. Otherwise, unless you have been charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs (DWAI), you may choose to act on your own behalf (pro se). By doing so you have two options:
- You may plead guilty to the charge against you. You can offer any explanation to the judge at your sentencing.
- You may submit your ticket electronically to the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office to request a possible reduction of the traffic charge(s) by completing the form below.
Be advised that you will be required to upload a copy of your ticket and a copy of your Driver’s Abstract in order to submit your request. See Description of Abstract of Driving Record for a description of what a driver’s abstract is. You may order your New York State Driver’s Abstract by going to https://dmv.ny.gov/dmv-records/get-my-own-driving-record-abstract.
If the ticket involved a motor vehicle accident, you will be required to upload a letter from your insurance company stating all property/personal injury damages have been paid in full.
Attorneys may submit their client’s ticket electronically to the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office to request a possible reduction of the traffic charge(s) by completing the form below as well.
Attorneys are required to upload a copy of their clients’ ticket(s) and a copy of their clients’ Driver’s Abstract in order to submit their request. If the ticket(s) involved a motor vehicle accident, the attorney is required to upload a letter from the client’s insurance company stating all property/personal injury damages have been paid in full.
