Driver Responsibility & Insurance Verification Program (DRIVe)

Our new Proof of Insurance Program gives community members the opportunity to resolve their summons without needing to appear in court, promoting safer, insured driving while improving overall system efficiency.

We regularly review data to guide policies that support a safer community. In our 2026 review, we found that many traffic cases involve drivers who are unable to show proof of insurance at the time of a traffic stop. When drivers are properly insured, crash victims are more likely to receive financial assistance for losses. Strengthening insurance compliance ensures that drivers meet basic safety and financial responsibility requirements, ultimately making our roads safer for everyone.
 
To support this effort, we launched the Proof of Insurance Program, which allows eligible community members to resolve their cases outside of court—improving efficiencies while encouraging responsible, insured driving. As a community that relies heavily on driving, our safety depends on ensuring that everyone on the road is safe, licensed, and insured.

Yes. The program is available to eligible participants regardless of the issuing state of the license.
We will process your submission as quickly as possible, but please note it may take up to two weeks for your summons to be entered into our system. As a result, there may be a short delay before we can begin verifying your information. Once verification is complete, you will receive an email confirming that your case has been closed and your court date has been vacated. Please note: the confirmation you received upon submitting your information is only a receipt of submission—it is not a notice of dismissal. If you did not receive a submission confirmation and believe you completed the process.
You must attend your scheduled court date. Failure to appear on your scheduled court date may result in a warrant being issued.
Yes. Failure to appear on your scheduled court date may result in a warrant being issued.
Yes. However, to have your case dismissed you must purchase insurance coverage and submit proof at least two weeks prior to your scheduled court date.
You will need to submit a copy of the insurance for the vehicle you were driving. Contact the owner of the vehicle and submit a copy of their insurance. You may also submit proof of Non-Owner car insurance, that you as a driver were and/or are now insured.
If you do not have proof that your plates are no longer expired, you have not fixed an expired temporary permit, or your vehicle has now been registered, you will need to appear to your scheduled court date.
You will still need to go to the court date written on your ticket. The prosecutor can to talk with you in person to understand what’s going on and see what you can show as proof while you wait for your official documents.
The most important part of this program is making sure all drivers are insured. Please provide proof of insurance and proof of the location of the vehicle. Please stay in contact with our office about whether you will need to appear at your court date.
