Navigating Traffic Offenses: Your Guide to the Pre-Trial Intervention Traffic Program (PTIT) 

Dealing with a traffic offense can be a stressful experience, but fortunately, there's a solution that offers convenience and peace of mind: the Pre-Trial Intervention Traffic Program (PTIT). In this blog article, we'll look at PTIT and how it can help you effectively resolve your case without appearing in court.

‍What is PTIT?

The Pre-Trial Intervention Traffic Program, commonly referred to as PTIT, is offered by the City of Atlanta Office of the Solicitor. It provides a convenient and often quick option for individuals to resolve their traffic cases before their scheduled court date. PTIT is designed to promote safe driving, emphasize accountability, and empower participants to take control of their legal situation.

‍Advantages of PTIT:

Participating in PTIT offers numerous advantages:

1. Your charges will be dismissed upon successful completion of the program.
2. You won't have to pay fines or surcharges, and you'll avoid accumulating points on your license. Instead of traditional court fines, participants only pay a participation fee, typically less than the initial acceptable amount.
3. Most program requirements can be completed on the same day as enrollment, eliminating the need for multiple visits to the courthouse and making the process quick and convenient.

‍Eligibility Criteria:

To be eligible for PTIT, you must meet specific criteria determined by the Office of the City Solicitor. Standard eligibility requirements include having a valid license or form of identification and receiving a qualifying violation, such as running a stop sign or speeding within a certain limit. For specific details on eligibility criteria, contact the Office of the City Solicitor directly.

‍How to Enroll:

Enrolling in PTIT is a straightforward process, with three convenient options available:

1. Complete the online form with the required information at least ten business days before your scheduled court date.
2. Visit the Office of the City Solicitor during walk-in hours and complete the necessary paperwork.
3. Attend your assigned court date and request to be referred to PTIT.

Whichever option you choose, rest assured that the enrollment process is simple, fast, and hassle-free.

Navigating a traffic offense can be manageable. The Pre-Trial Intervention Traffic Program (PTIT) offers a convenient and beneficial alternative to resolving your case. Take control of your legal situation today and explore the possibilities of PTIT to achieve a positive outcome.
