A program offering amnesty to drivers who have had their licenses suspended for failure to pay a traffic to pay a traffic continues for individuals ticketed by City of Wichita Police Officers thru Fri., Dec. 30. Participants will receive amnesty from warrants, collection fees, and City reinstatement fees. In order to receive amnesty, individuals with suspended licenses will be required to pay in full all fines and court costs that are owed. Payment plans are being offered, and those who are unable to pay due to financial hardship can arrange to receive credit toward their fines by performing community service at local organizations or attending training offered by Workforce alliance to help job seekers gain employment.
Failure to pay cases in full within the negotiated timeframe will result in all waived fees being added back to the case(s)
Drivers can obtain a restricted license while they participate in the amnesty program, which allows them to make payments on traffic citations without the threat of arrest or additional fees being assessed. If outstanding fines are paid during the year, the resident’s driver’s license will be reinstated.
A restricted license allows drivers to and from:
Work,
- School,
- Medical appointments or emergencies,
- Probation and parole meetings, and
- Required court-related destination.
