How Traffic School Works in Oregon

In Oregon, there is no statewide traffic school dismissal or point-reduction program. This means that completing a traffic school course will not automatically remove a citation from a driver's record or reduce accumulated points on a license.

However, individual courts in Oregon may still approve traffic school enrollment on a case-by-case basis, allowing some drivers to address their citations through coursework. Additionally, traffic safety courses offered by approved providers may qualify drivers for insurance discounts independently of any court dismissal process.

The specific rules governing traffic school eligibility, approved course providers, enrollment deadlines, applicable fees, and whether a particular citation qualifies for course completion vary by jurisdiction and change periodically. Drivers should contact the court that issued their citation or the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles directly to confirm current requirements and procedures before enrolling in or paying for any traffic school course.
