Freeway Traffic School is a private DMV-licensed provider (E1745) and is not a part of the DMV or any California court.

Get court approval

  1. Find the ticket

    Open CourtHelp from LA's traffic page and enter “traffic ticket.” Available services depend on your case.

  2. Request traffic school

    Choose the fine plus school processing fee if available. LA also accepts requests by mail, phone, at a traffic clerk's office, or at arraignment.

  3. Save the approval and deadline

    Confirm the school authorization before enrolling. Court charges are separate from the course fee.

Enroll with your court details

  • Citation and driver details

    Use the same details you used to locate your ticket.

  • School authorization

    Confirm that the transaction approved school; an ordinary payment receipt is different.

  • Assigned courthouse

    Use the current assignment, especially if your paperwork names a former hearing location.

Confirm your completion

Freeway reports completion electronically for California-licensed drivers after you pass and pay. How reporting works.

  1. Allow court processing time

    LA retrieves the electronic certificate from DMV. Its school page recommends checking the ticket at least a week after completion.

  2. Check the ticket status

    LA's status guide identifies “Dismissed” as the result after receipt of a school certificate. Ask the traffic clerk about an unclear record.

Common questions

School option missing?

Ask the LA traffic clerk to check eligibility and available services before enrolling.

Need more time to finish?

Request a school-completion extension before the deadline and save the approval. An appearance or fine-payment extension changes a different date.

Completion still missing?

Keep your Freeway confirmation and ask us to check reporting. Contact the traffic clerk if the court record still needs attention.
