Courts announce convenient way to pay traffic tickets

It’ll mean convenience for you and efficiency for the courts.
In a collaboration effort by the Oakland County’s four district courts which includes Clarkston, Novi, Rochester Hills, and Troy, a new online ticket payment option has been launched for people with certain civil infraction citations.
The program was launched to the public on Tuesday, Dec. 9, though it has been in use since Nov. 17.
‘There will be a lot of different benefits,? Judge Dana Fortinberry of the 52-2 District Court in Clarkston said.
Specifically, Fortinberry said the online processing will ease her staff’s work loads so they will have more time to dedicate to more pressing matters.
‘As a judge I love it because it makes our customer service quick and more efficient. And for people who need to pay a ticket, they won’t have to wait in line in our lobby if we happen to be particularly busy that day, which is nice,? Fortinberry said. ‘For those who were just passing through on the highway, they won’t have to take a day off of work to come down here for a hearing. They can just log on to their computer to pay.?
The website is www.co.oakland.mi.us. Directions for use are clearly listed. Currently, there is a ‘Pay Tickets? icon on the home page. If it is not there, just click on ‘Online Services? and then ‘Pay Tickets.? You will have to enter your name, and ticket number or driver? license number before proceeding to payment and checkout.
