The court—not a course provider—decides whether your citation qualifies and sets the completion deadline. GoToTrafficSchool.com’s California online traffic school appears in the current California Traffic Safety Institute (CTSI) online-school list under DMV license number E1990. Before enrolling, confirm that your notice permits traffic school and that the court will accept your selected online course for your case.

San Bernardino County traffic-school eligibility
The San Bernardino Superior Court says it may grant traffic school for eligible moving violations. Its posted criteria include: no traffic-school attendance in the prior 18 months; no speeding more than 25 mph over the posted limit; no commercial vehicle operation at the time of the violation; no alcohol- or drug-related citation; and no charge requiring a mandatory court appearance. The court’s traffic-school page lists other eligibility requirements as well, so review the complete official criteria and your own notice before choosing a course.
A court’s decision is case-specific. Do not assume that a course provider’s directory listing guarantees acceptance in your case. If your citation is not eligible, involves a commercial vehicle, or has special conditions, ask the court identified on your citation or reminder notice before enrolling.
For eligible citations, traffic school is generally used to have the conviction treated as confidential rather than erased. It does not cancel the citation or guarantee an insurance discount. California’s 18-month rule is based on violation dates; check the court’s instructions and ask your insurer how a confidential conviction affects your policy.
What to do after receiving a ticket
- Identify the assigned court and due date. Use the citation and any reminder notice. San Bernardino Superior Court says a reminder is sent to the address on the ticket, but not receiving it does not remove your responsibility to act by the appearance date.
- Check the official court service. Use the court’s traffic page for citation services, payment, traffic-school details and other procedures. The court access portal is for court case services; a payment is not the same as a case lookup or contest request.
- Confirm eligibility and the course deadline with the court. The court requires completion in time for electronic reporting and processing by the deadline it sets. Do not rely on the course’s estimated completion or reporting time as an extension.
- Choose a listed school and enter the correct court information. The court directs drivers to select a school from the California Traffic Safety Institute list. It also instructs students to provide the corresponding court code when applicable. Verify the school, course and court code before beginning.
- Confirm completion was received. The court says the school submits completion notice to DMV and the court processes it electronically. Check your case through the court’s official service or contact the assigned traffic clerk if the record does not update. A course enrollment does not respond to the ticket or extend its due date.
San Bernardino Superior Court provides online and telephone payment services, but using a payment portal to pay and close a case can result in a conviction being reported to DMV. If you intend to contest a ticket, follow the court’s contest instructions rather than making a payment that closes the case. Pay a traffic ticket and see response options

GoToTrafficSchool.com online course
GoToTrafficSchool.com offers a California online traffic-school course. Its website describes the course as self-paced and online, and states that students can use multiple device types and resume progress on another device. The company states that successful completion is reported to California and that a completion certificate is provided. These are company statements about its course and reporting; the court determines eligibility, acceptance and the deadline for your case.
The current CTSI list reviewed for this guide includes GOTOTRAFFICSCHOOLCOM — E1990 among DMV-licensed internet/home-study schools. That is evidence of listing as a school in the referenced list, not a guarantee that your citation qualifies or that any particular course will meet your case requirements. Confirm all conditions with the court before enrolling.

Frequently asked questions
Is traffic school automatic when I get a San Bernardino County ticket?
No. The Superior Court may grant traffic school if the citation and driver satisfy its criteria. Check the reminder notice and contact the assigned court if eligibility is unclear.
Does San Bernardino County accept GoToTrafficSchool.com?
The CTSI list reviewed for this guide includes GoToTrafficSchool.com under DMV license number E1990 as an internet school. This does not by itself establish that your citation is eligible or guarantee case-specific acceptance. Confirm with the court before enrolling.
How long do I have to finish?
The deadline is set for your case by the court. Use the date on your notice or official court record, and contact the court about an extension before the deadline if needed. Do not assume an extension is automatic.
Will the course dismiss my ticket?
Traffic school does not erase the ticket. For an eligible citation, the court describes the outcome as a confidential conviction if the completion is timely processed. Ineligible or late completion may not receive that treatment.
How can I check whether my ticket is in the court system?
Use the San Bernardino Superior Court’s official traffic and case services or contact the court named on the citation. If you cannot find the case online, do not treat that as cancellation of the appearance date; contact the court for instructions.
Does paying my ticket let me contest it later?
The court warns that using its online payment service pays the fine and closes the case. If you want to contest the ticket, follow the official contest procedure before making a payment.
Does traffic school guarantee lower insurance rates?
No. Traffic school’s potential effect on a qualifying conviction and its visibility is different from an insurance discount. Contact your insurer about your policy and any applicable driver discount.
