Common questions
Need to attend a hearing remotely?
Request a traffic remote appearance at least three court days ahead. Imperial uses Teams; without written approval before the hearing, its instructions say to appear in person.
Can I use general eFiling for a traffic request?
No. It excludes traffic. Ask the traffic clerk how to submit your documents.
Need a lower fine and school?
Contact the traffic clerk. Imperial says not to use the online ability-to-pay tool when requesting school.
