3 easy steps
- Sign up
- Complete the online course
- Get your certificate
The court decides eligibility and sets the applicable deadline. GoToTrafficSchool’s California course is online, but its acceptance for your specific citation has not been independently verified. Check your court notice and confirm the school and course with the court before enrolling.
First, identify the court handling your citation
Santa Barbara County Superior Court handles traffic citations issued within the county’s jurisdiction. The court says that citations are filed and resolved through its traffic division; a ticket’s issuing agency is not necessarily the office that handles the case. Follow the court and response deadline shown on your citation or courtesy notice.
The court’s current Solvang location page says that no hearings are scheduled at that location and that matters previously filed there are handled at the Lompoc Division. Because a Solvang address or older court reference may not identify where you must respond or appear, use the court named on your citation or notice. If uncertain, contact the court’s traffic clerk.
Santa Barbara County Superior Court — Lompoc Division
Traffic role: The court’s traffic division provides county traffic-citation services. The court’s Solvang location information directs filing of matters previously handled there to Lompoc; your citation or official notice identifies your assigned court.
Street address: 115 Civic Center Plaza, Lompoc, CA 93436-6967
Traffic clerk: (805) 737-7789
Counter hours: Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–3 p.m.

Official links: Traffic and minor-offense information, case lookup and payment · Lompoc Division and Solvang location information
The court’s online and phone services can help locate citation information, review available case options, and request traffic violator school when eligible. A missing online case record does not change the response deadline on your citation or notice.
How to check traffic-school eligibility
Santa Barbara County Superior Court requires drivers to sign up with the court by the deadline on the citation or courtesy notice. The court’s published eligibility rules include having a valid driver’s license, not having completed traffic violator school for another violation within the prior 18 months, and not having committed the violation in a commercial vehicle. The court also excludes certain cases, including violations involving alcohol or drugs, violations with more than one negligent-operator point, speeding more than 25 miles per hour over the posted limit, and citations requiring a mandatory court appearance.
These are the court’s published rules, not a guarantee that a particular driver or citation qualifies. Review your notice and check your eligibility through the court’s official services or traffic clerk. The court says eligible drivers may request traffic school through its website, by phone, or in person. Court obligations and enrollment with a traffic school are separate steps.

GoToTrafficSchool’s California course: verify acceptance first
GoToTrafficSchool describes its California traffic school course as online and self-paced. The company states that it is licensed by the California DMV and reports completion electronically. The company’s course page lists California license number E1990. Those are company statements; this research did not independently confirm the license in the DMV’s interactive provider lookup or establish that the Santa Barbara County court accepts this specific provider for your case.
The Santa Barbara County court says that it accepts DMV-accredited classroom and online traffic violator schools and describes electronic completion reporting through the DMV and court. Before enrolling, confirm with the court that your citation qualifies and that GoToTrafficSchool is an acceptable provider for your case. Do not rely on course enrollment alone as a response to your citation.
If the court approves traffic school, follow its instructions about the deadline, course completion, and proof. The court states that completion information is processed through the DMV and court system. Confirm that the court has received and processed your completion before assuming the case is resolved.
Road work and driving in Solvang
The City of Solvang published a road rehabilitation notice in April 2026 describing temporary lane closures, flaggers, and possible one-lane traffic control on streets including Alamo Pintado Road, Alisal Road, and streets near Solvang School. The notice’s publication period ended August 1, 2026, so it should not be treated as confirmation that work or closures remain active. Check current city notices before traveling through a work area.
For municipal street-maintenance information, contact Solvang Public Works. For a traffic citation, use the court listed on your citation or official notice instead.
Frequently asked questions
Does a ticket issued in Solvang automatically go to a Solvang courthouse?
No. The court’s Solvang location page says that no hearings are scheduled there and that matters previously filed there are handled at the Lompoc Division. Use the court identified on your citation or later official notice.
Can I take online traffic school for a Santa Barbara County citation?
The county court says it accepts DMV-accredited online and classroom traffic violator schools for eligible cases. It does not establish here that GoToTrafficSchool is accepted for your individual citation. Confirm the provider with the court before enrolling.
What are the Santa Barbara County traffic-school eligibility limits?
The court lists requirements that include a valid license, no traffic-school completion for another violation in the preceding 18 months, and no commercial vehicle involvement. It also lists excluded violation types, including certain serious or mandatory-appearance cases. Check the court’s current rules and your notice for your case.
How do I request traffic school?
The county court says to sign up by the due date on your citation or courtesy notice. Its traffic information page provides the court’s online, phone, mail, and in-person procedures. Follow the instructions for your specific case.
Does finishing the course dismiss my citation?
No. California traffic violator school is not the same as erasing a citation. For eligible cases, the court describes the result as a confidential conviction processed through the DMV and court system. The court must receive and process completion as required.
What if my citation does not appear in the online system?
Contact the court using the phone number on the official traffic page and do not assume the response deadline has changed. Follow the date and instructions on your citation or notice.
