Traffic Education Classes – City of Eagle River

 

The City of Eagle River Police Department provides an alternative to traffic fines and court appearances.  The Traffic Education Program offers good drivers who receive minor traffic tickets a 3-hour class on traffic laws and safety.  In many cases, education, rather than fines, produces better drivers. 

 

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must have NO traffic convictions within one (1) year.

• May only participate in the Traffic Education Program once every three (3) years.

Please note the opportunity to participate in the class is a privilege and an officer may use his/her discretion when determining eligibility. 

Conditions of the Traffic Education Class:

• Once you receive your ticket, you have five (5) days (including weekends and holidays) to report to the Eagle River Police Department and enroll in the next available class. Phone number (715)479-1941 ext. 240.

• A $60.00 fee is due at the time of enrollment.  Payment must be in the form of CASH, CHECK payable to the City of Eagle River.

• Classes are scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 525 E Maple St., City of Eagle River. Day of the month varies. (We also have an interactive virtual alternative during the class time for those who live outside of the area. Active participation in class discussion is mandatory.) 

Once you are enrolled in the class, your traffic ticket will be held by the department.  At the point you successfully complete the class, the citation will become void.  This means it does not become part of your driving record, has no impact on your insurance, no point reduction, no fine or court appearance.  Most importantly, you become a safer and more knowledgeable driver!
