Emeryville, California Online Traffic School

Emeryville has no separate municipal or city traffic court. A ticket written by the Emeryville Police Department or another agency (such as the California Highway Patrol) is filed with the Alameda County Superior Court's Traffic Division. Alameda County's traffic division operates from three court locations; the location most associated with Oakland-area and nearby cities like Emeryville is the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse.

Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse — Traffic Division

• Address: 661 Washington Street, Oakland, CA 94607
• Phone: 510-627-4700
• Traffic clerk's office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (phone answered 8:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m.)
• Official traffic division page: https://www.alameda.courts.ca.gov/divisions/traffic
• Look up/pay a citation: https://apps3.alameda.courts.ca.gov/webpay/views/citation-entry.aspx
• Role and service area: This location is one of Alameda County Superior Court's traffic-division courthouses; the court states that citations issued outside Alameda County are handled by the respective county, and that parking tickets go to the citing agency, not the traffic division. Your citation or courtesy notice — not your home address — identifies which Alameda County courthouse and case number apply to your ticket.

This is general public routing information, not a guarantee that every Emeryville citation is heard at this specific courthouse; some cases may be assigned to the Fremont or Dublin locations depending on the county's internal case assignment. Confirm your assigned location using the court's Find Your Court Date tool: https://www.alameda.courts.ca.gov/online-services/find-your-court-date.

GoToTrafficSchool.com maintains a dedicated enrollment page for this specific courthouse, which can be used once your court eligibility is confirmed: https://www.gototrafficschool.com/court/wiley-w-manuel-courthouse-online-traffic-school-alameda-ca.

The Emeryville Police Department (2449 Powell Street, Emeryville, CA 94608; main line 510-596-3700) is the primary local issuing agency for traffic stops within city limits; the California Highway Patrol may also issue citations on state highways passing through the city. The issuing agency is separate from the court that processes the case and separate from any course provider — EPD does not decide traffic school eligibility or approve GoToTrafficSchool.com; that determination is made by the Alameda County Superior Court based on the violation and your driving record.

Your citation date is not a court date — it is the date by which you should expect to receive a courtesy notice by mail with your actual due date, bail amount, and whether you qualify for traffic school. If you have not received a courtesy notice within four weeks of an Emeryville-issued citation, Alameda County's traffic division advises bringing the citation in person to one of its traffic counters (Fremont Hall of Justice, Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland, or the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin) rather than waiting further.

Alameda County drivers may request a trial or, in eligible cases, a trial by written declaration — contesting the ticket in writing rather than appearing in person, using court forms TR-205 and MC-031. Details and current forms are maintained on the court's own contesting-a-ticket page: https://www.alameda.courts.ca.gov/divisions/traffic/contesting-traffic-ticket. Electing to attend traffic school and electing to contest a citation are different, court-controlled paths — confirm with the traffic clerk which option applies before proceeding, since pursuing one may affect your ability to pursue the other.

California DMV manages the statewide Traffic Violator Course Completion (TVCC) system, which licensed schools use to report completions electronically to the assigned court. GoToTrafficSchool.com states that it reports completion to the State of California and provides a certificate for the student's records; however, independent confirmation of GoToTrafficSchool's specific DMV licensing status and its acceptance by the Alameda County Superior Court was not completed in this research pass — verify directly with the Traffic Division ([email protected]) before relying on any provider's completion report reaching your case file. Reporting to the court does not automatically confirm reporting to your insurer; if an insurance benefit matters to you, confirm separately with your insurance company.

Emeryville is currently working on the Powell Street Redesign Project, a city-led effort — with a community open house held in October 2025 — evaluating improvements for people walking, biking, and driving along Powell Street, near the Emeryville Police Department. As of this writing the project remains in a public design and feedback stage rather than completed construction. Drivers navigating central Emeryville, including the Powell Street corridor near I-80, should expect ongoing community planning activity and should check the city's project page for current status before assuming construction has begun: https://www.emeryville.org/Events-Activities/Powell-Street-Redesign-Project.
