Contra Costa Superior Court defendant portal for traffic arraignments now open

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA (June 5, 2024) — Beginning this week, individuals can use the Contra Costa Superior Court’s Traffic Public Portal to schedule their own arraignment times and view copies of their citations via the Defendant Portal. This portal allows members of the public to set arraignments at available times that best match their schedule. This reduces the potential for confusion in the arraignment process.

You can find the Court’s Traffic Portal and the link to the Defendant Portal at https://cmsportal.cc-courts.org/. Look for additional information concerning the Court’s processes for Traffic matters at https://www.cc-courts.org/traffic.

The Defendant Portal is part of the Court’s continued commitment to expanding access to justice through use of technology. It follows both the activation of the Traffic Portal itself and the enabling of MyCitations (https://mycitations.courts.ca.gov), which allows users to look up citations online and to request fee reductions, extensions in time, or community service alternatives based on their financial situation.
