Parking and Traffic Tickets
The Auto License Bureau does not handle parking violations and cannot answer your questions about parking tickets. We do not regulate parking. Contact the locality if you have parking tickets or questions about local regulations. Failure to answer parking tickets may result in barring renewal of your auto registration or a registration suspension.
In Monroe County, traffic tickets for moving violations are handled by local courts. In the City of Rochester, the New York State DMV Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) handles non-criminal moving violations. Criminal traffic violations in these areas, such as DWI or reckless driving, are handled by criminal courts. Contact the local criminal court.
