Jamaica's judiciary is calling on all registered motorists with outstanding traffic tickets to attend the scheduled Traffic Ticket Public Days. The event, set for Wednesday, July 8, and Thursday, July 9, 2026, will take place at the National Arena in Kingston.

This initiative, a collaboration between the judiciary, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), the Island Traffic Authority (ITA), and the Ticket Management System (TiMS), aims to clear more than 43,000 outstanding traffic tickets. The judiciary stated that the event is part of an ongoing commitment to reduce the backlog of traffic tickets in the parish court and provide an efficient way to handle eligible traffic matters.

Kadiesh Jarrett Fletcher, Director of Client Services, Communications and Information at the Court Administration Division, emphasized the thorough coordination for the event. "We encourage everyone who has registered to keep their scheduled appointment, arrive at least 30 minutes early and come prepared," she said. Participants are advised to rely solely on official communication channels for information.

Attendees should arrive at least 30 minutes before their appointment for security screening and registration. Entry will be through Gate E4, with paid parking available. Participants must bring a valid driver's license or government-issued ID, relevant documents, and sufficient funds for any fines. Payments can be made via cash or card, though the final court-ordered amount may differ from the original ticket.

We encourage everyone who has registered to keep their scheduled appointment, arrive at least 30 minutes early and come prepared.
