A new system for the King County District Court has gone online with the hopes of easing the time and expense that judges and citizens expend handling traffic infractions. This new e-mitigation system now allows citizens to enter in their name, ticket number, and response for a judge to review online.

“With the development and implementation of our new e-mitigation program, citizens can more easily respond to tickets and the Court can address tickets much faster. Overall, the process has become much more efficient—saving both time and money,” explained Hon. Donna Tucker, the presiding judge of the court.

By going to the court’s website boxes will pop up allowing those with infractions to enter their name and ticket number and post a response to the ticket. The judge can then review the response online as well as access any other pertinent information in the court’s records system to make a determination. The process should lessen the time and expense that the legal process has previously required when handling tickets.
