3 easy steps
- Sign up
- Complete the online course
- Get your certificate
Shasta County traffic cases are handled by the Superior Court of California, County of Shasta. Its Traffic Division requires eligible drivers to enroll through the court’s process and use a school from its approved list. Confirm that GoToTrafficSchool.com is accepted for your case with the court before enrolling. The company’s Anderson Court listing is not proof of current court acceptance.
What to do before enrolling
- Read the citation and courtesy notice. Check the assigned court, due date, traffic-school eligibility and instructions. Shasta Superior Court says a courtesy notice may take time to arrive; if you have not received one by the date shown on your citation, contact the court by that date.
- Ask the Traffic Unit about traffic school before paying online or by automated phone. The court warns drivers considering traffic school not to pay through those routes. Its local procedure says eligible applicants must meet the court’s requirements and receive approval, then follow the court’s instructions about approved schools and the completion deadline.
- Confirm the specific school and completion-reporting method. Do not enroll in GoToTrafficSchool.com for court credit unless the court confirms it is on the approved list for your case. The DMV’s traffic-school list is a separate provider-search tool; it does not establish that a particular school is approved for your citation.
- Track completion and confirm it was recorded. Shasta Superior Court provides a completion-status service. Check it and contact the court if your completion is not reflected.
Course enrollment and court obligations are separate. Taking a course does not replace responding to the citation, meeting the court’s deadlines or following its payment instructions.
Shasta County Superior Court Traffic Division
The court’s Traffic Unit handles traffic infractions and other minor offenses. The courthouse is in Redding, outside Anderson; it is the verified Shasta County court contact for traffic procedures described here. Your citation or later court notice identifies your assigned court.
Superior Court of California, County of Shasta — Traffic Unit
Main Courthouse, 1515 Court Street, Redding, CA 96001
Traffic Unit: (530) 245-6789 | Traffic School: (530) 245-6782
Office hours listed by the court: 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Official Traffic Division page | Court online services | Pay traffic fines
The court’s Traffic Division page describes online payment, payment by mail, telephone or in person, as well as options to contest a citation. Those routes are not interchangeable: follow the notice and do not use online or automated-phone payment if you are considering traffic school or requesting a trial by written declaration.
Shasta County’s court states that traffic-school eligibility depends on court approval and other conditions, which include license and violation requirements. Its published limits include certain commercial-vehicle violations, some violations carrying more than one point, alcohol- or drug-related violations, and speeding more than the stated threshold. Read the court’s current eligibility rules and your notice; do not assume eligibility from the city where the citation was issued.
What traffic school can—and cannot—do
California Courts describes traffic school as a way for eligible drivers with a noncommercial license to keep the point from a qualifying ticket from appearing on the DMV record, subject to court eligibility and approval. This is point masking, not deletion of the underlying citation. Rules for commercial licenses and commercial vehicles differ; ask the court about your case.
Shasta County’s published procedure says the court provides its approved-school information and completion deadline after the required election steps. Its traffic page also provides a completion-status check. Verify that the specific online course is accepted before enrolling, then confirm the court has recorded your completion.
GoToTrafficSchool.com describes its California course as online and self-paced and states that progress can be resumed. Those are company statements, not confirmation that the course is accepted for an Anderson-area citation. The company’s Anderson Court directory listing does not substitute for approval from the court handling your case.
Anderson streets and signal improvements
The City of Anderson reported in May 2026 that it was continuing upgrades to traffic-signal control equipment around the city, including signal cabinets and coordination systems. The update describes ongoing city work, not a claim that any particular intersection is unsafe or that a project changes a driver’s citation obligations. Check the city’s current information for work affecting your route.
For a citation from Interstate 5 or another route, use the court named on your citation; the route or city name alone does not identify your case procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an Anderson city traffic court?
The verified traffic contact is the Shasta County Superior Court Traffic Unit at the Main Courthouse in Redding. The citation or official notice identifies the court assigned to an individual case.
Can I enroll in GoToTrafficSchool.com before contacting the court?
Not if you need court credit and have not verified acceptance. The Shasta County court says eligible drivers must follow its approval process and use an approved school. Confirm the specific course with the court before enrolling.
Does traffic school erase my ticket?
No. California Courts describes the relevant effect for eligible noncommercial drivers as masking the point from the DMV record. That is not the same as erasing the citation.
What if my citation does not appear online?
Check the citation and contact the court by the date shown if you have not received a courtesy notice. A missing online record does not cancel the response deadline.
Can I pay online and still elect traffic school?
The Shasta County Traffic Division warns people considering traffic school not to pay online or through the automated phone system. Contact the Traffic Unit and follow the instructions on your notice first.
Will traffic school lower my insurance premium?
No specific discount for this GoToTrafficSchool course in Anderson was verified. Ask your insurer about your policy and whether it accepts the course. California’s traffic-school point-masking rules and any insurer discount are separate questions.
Can commercial drivers use traffic school to mask a citation?
Do not assume so. The court and California rules distinguish commercial licenses and commercial-vehicle violations. Ask the court about the specific citation and license.
