The court’s traffic-school rules set the election and completion requirements. The court says an eligible driver must elect traffic school and meet the court’s payment requirements by the citation’s due date or an extended due date; after arrangements are made, the court generally allows 90 days to complete the course. Check your citation and confirm your eligibility and deadline with the court before enrolling.
GoToTrafficSchool.com describes its California traffic school as online and self-paced and identifies California DMV license OL# E1990. However, Solano Superior Court’s traffic-school page does not name GoToTrafficSchool as an accepted provider. The DMV’s traffic-school search tool is the official directory; verify the provider and confirm the court’s requirements before selecting a course.

Solano County traffic-school rules and next steps
The Solano Superior Court lists these general eligibility conditions: a valid driver’s license; no traffic-school attendance or election in the preceding 18 months; no outstanding failure to appear or failure to pay; a moving infraction not involving drugs or alcohol; and no speeding more than 25 mph over the posted limit. Eligibility and any case-specific decision remain with the court. Review the court’s full rules, especially for commercial-driver situations and any citation-specific conditions.
If you choose to request traffic school:
- Check your citation and court notice. The citation identifies the court location assigned to your case. If you have not received a courtesy notice, the court says to contact it on or before the date on your citation.
- Elect by the due date. The court allows traffic-school elections by mail, in person at the court drop box, or through its online or phone payment options. If your citation includes a correctable (“fix-it”) violation, the court says the election must be made by mail or in person, with proof of correction.
- Enroll only after confirming the court’s terms. The court requires a DMV-approved traffic school. Court obligations and course enrollment are separate.
- Complete the course on time. The court says the course must be completed within 90 days after arrangements are made. Its posted instructions say no extensions are granted for that completion period. Do not assume an extension to a different court deadline is automatic; contact the court listed on your citation.
- Confirm completion is recorded. The court says it can retrieve an electronic completion certificate from the school/DMV five business days after successful completion. Check your court case record or contact the traffic division if you need to confirm receipt.
Traffic school does not erase a ticket. Under the court’s stated process, a qualifying completed course can result in a confidential conviction. If you complete traffic school when ineligible for confidential treatment, the court warns the conviction and point may appear on your DMV record.

GoToTrafficSchool.com presents a California traffic-school course as online and self-paced, with progress saved across devices. The company states that its completion is reported to California and that a certificate is provided for the student’s records. Those are company statements, not confirmation that this course is accepted for a particular Solano County citation. The Solano court specifically says to use a DMV-approved school and sets its own election and completion process. GoToTrafficSchool.com California course page
Before enrolling for a Solano County citation: confirm the school appears in the DMV traffic-school list and contact the court branch assigned on your citation if you have any doubt about eligibility, deadlines, or provider acceptance.
Find your Solano County traffic court
Solano County Superior Court’s Traffic Division handles adult traffic infractions. The court says the citation identifies the assigned court location. These two traffic-division branches are listed by the court; confirm the location on your own citation before visiting.

The court’s posted hours exclude court holidays. Its Traffic Division page provides links to traffic-school instructions and citation payment information. For online case information, use the court’s case-search portal; for payment, use the court’s Pay a Citation instructions. Case search and payment are separate services.
If a new citation does not appear in an online system, do not treat that as cancellation of your response deadline. Follow the citation and contact the court branch shown on it. The court says a person who has not received a courtesy notice must contact the court by the citation date.
Traffic school, insurance, and citation outcomes
For eligible noncommercial drivers, California’s traffic-school process can keep a qualifying conviction confidential under applicable court rules. That is not the same as erasing the citation or guaranteeing an insurance discount. Insurance benefits depend on the driver’s circumstances, applicable law, and the insurer’s treatment of the record. Ask your insurer about your own policy; do not assume a course independently lowers premiums.
The Solano court’s rules also describe commercial-driver cases differently. A driver cited while operating a commercial vehicle is not eligible for traffic school under the court’s posted guidance. Some commercial license holders cited while driving a noncommercial vehicle may be eligible to attend, but the court says the conviction will not be masked from view in the same way. Check the court’s current instructions and the California Rules of Court, rule 4.104 for your situation.
Local driving and traffic safety context
Solano County’s incorporated cities include Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo. Interstate and state highways cross the county, and the Solano Transportation Authority’s 2016 Travel Safety Plan addresses local streets and roads as well as the state-highway network. That plan identified safety-project locations across member cities and county-controlled areas; it is a dated planning document, not a current hazard map or a statement that a road is presently unsafe.

Frequently asked questions
Is GoToTrafficSchool.com confirmed as accepted by Solano County Superior Court?
The court’s traffic-school page requires a DMV-approved school but does not specifically name GoToTrafficSchool.com. The company identifies a California DMV license number on its course page. Check the DMV’s official directory and confirm any case-specific requirements with the court before enrolling.
What is the deadline to elect traffic school?
The court says you must elect by the court due date or an extended due date. The date on your citation or court notice controls your case; do not assume a general timeframe applies.
How long do I have to finish after electing traffic school?
The court says that, once you have made arrangements to attend, you have 90 days to complete the course. Its posted traffic-school guidance says no extensions will be granted for that completion period.
Can I elect online if my ticket includes a fix-it violation?
Not according to the court’s posted instructions. If a citation includes a correctable violation, traffic-school election must be made by mail or in person at the court drop box, with proof of correction.
Where do I go if I live in a different part of the county?
Use the court location listed on your citation. Solano Superior Court lists traffic divisions in Fairfield and Vallejo; do not infer your assigned branch from your home city.
Does completing traffic school dismiss the ticket?
The court describes the result as a confidential conviction for qualifying cases, not erasure of the ticket. Eligibility and completion requirements matter.
How can I check whether the court received my completion?
The court says it can retrieve the electronic completion certificate five business days after course completion. You can also check the court’s case-search portal or contact the assigned Traffic Division.
What if I cannot find my citation online?
The court portal may not show the latest filings. Follow the citation’s instructions and deadline, and contact the court location assigned on the citation if the case is not visible or you have not received a courtesy notice.
