Saratoga County District Attorney Brett Eby today announced the launch of a new online Traffic Ticket Reduction website, providing residents with a convenient and efficient way to apply for a reduction of eligible traffic ticket offenses without the need to spend hours appearing in court.
The Saratoga County District Attorney’s Office handles tens of thousands of traffic tickets each year. The new online system is designed to streamline the process for motorists while reducing administrative and financial burdens on local town courts and county government.
“This new website will make the traffic ticket reduction process more efficient and accessible for drivers,” said District Attorney Brett Eby. “By allowing individuals to submit applications online, we can significantly reduce courtroom appearances, administrative costs, and the amount of time citizens must spend away from work and family obligations.”
The online application system is expected to generate substantial savings for both town courts and Saratoga County by reducing expenses associated with postage, envelopes, paper processing, and other administrative costs. The initiative will also help alleviate courtroom congestion, reduce courtroom time, and allow court personnel to focus on criminal matters.
Importantly, the website was developed entirely by Saratoga County’s Information Technology Department at no additional cost to taxpayers.
The Traffic Ticket Reduction Application website can be accessed through the Saratoga County District Attorney’s Office website and through the Saratoga County website. Please see the link here: https://www.saratogacountyny.gov/plea/
District Attorney Eby expressed his sincere appreciation to the Saratoga County Information Technology Department for their outstanding work in developing the platform, specifically recognizing Scott Monheimer, Chris DuBois, Sara Thibodeau, William Smolinski, and Carl Forshey for their dedication and expertise.
District Attorney Eby also extended special thanks to Assistant District Attorney Tahnya Grazulis for her leadership and assistance in helping bring the project from concept to reality.
“This project demonstrates what can be accomplished when county departments work together to create innovative solutions that improve services for the public while saving taxpayer dollars,” Eby said. “The new website will provide a more convenient experience for citizens while creating efficiencies that benefit our courts, our county, and our taxpayers.”
