Solano County Traffic School

Solano County sits between the Bay Area and the Sacramento Valley, and most of its traffic funnels onto a few roads. Interstate 80 runs the length of the county through Vallejo, Fairfield, Vacaville and Dixon. Interstate 680 crosses the Benicia-Martinez Bridge into Benicia, and Interstate 780 links Benicia to Vallejo. State Route 12 runs from Rio Vista through Suisun City toward Napa, State Route 37 follows the edge of San Pablo Bay out of Vallejo, and State Route 113 heads north from Highway 12 through Dixon. The Census Bureau counts 455,376 residents across seven cities.

The California Office of Traffic Safety counted 2,868 people killed or injured in Solano County crashes in 2023, which ranks the county 16th of California's 58 counties. In these rankings, 1st is the worst result. Two figures stand out. Hit-and-run crashes that killed or hurt someone numbered 278, 4th in the state, and speed-related ones numbered 657, 11th. Speed matters for traffic school here as well, because Solano County Superior Court will not allow it for a driver cited at more than 25 mph over the posted limit.

When the court allows traffic school, it sets its own fee and the date by which you must finish, and your courtesy notice shows both. Starting on time matters as much as finishing. The court says a driver who does not ask for traffic school on time cannot ask for it later, so act on the notice when it arrives rather than near the due date. The California Highway Patrol's Solano Area serves residents and travelers across the county, so a ticket from a CHP officer on Interstate 80 or State Route 12 lands in the same Superior Court as one from a city police officer.

Adult traffic cases are heard in two cities. In Fairfield, the Hall of Justice at 600 Union Avenue holds traffic arraignments and trials, and the Law and Justice Center at 530 Union Avenue calls a traffic arraignment calendar of its own. In Vallejo, the Solano Justice Building at 321 Tuolumne Street hears traffic arraignments and trials. Your citation names the courthouse that has your case. Citations for drivers under 18 go through the county Probation Department instead of a traffic courtroom.

Mirai Traffic School's office is at 2551 Lavender Place in Fairfield, which makes this the one county page where we can say we are local. The course itself is online and self-paced, so you can stop, come back later and take the final exam when you are ready. After you pass, we report your completion to the DMV electronically and the court retrieves it from there, so keep your confirmation until your case shows as closed.
