The Rochester Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) is a specialized branch of New York State’s Department of Motor Vehicles focused on adjudicating non-criminal traffic violations within the city of Rochester. This government office provides a streamlined process for handling tickets such as speeding, running red lights, and other moving violations. Unlike local courts, the TVB functions exclusively for traffic cases, offering swift and accessible services to drivers seeking to enter pleas, schedule hearings, or resolve penalties. Emphasizing efficiency, the Bureau helps to alleviate congestion in municipal courts by overseeing routine traffic matters independently.

The Rochester TVB also plays a vital role in promoting roadway safety by ensuring compliance with New York traffic laws. Drivers can utilize in-person services at the Rochester office or manage many aspects of their cases online through the official New York DMV website. Bilingual assistance and disabled access services demonstrate the Bureau’s commitment to equitable service delivery. The agency works closely with local law enforcement and municipal departments to maintain accurate records and enforce fair penalties. Through its operations, the TVB contributes to the orderly flow of traffic and the integrity of the state’s driving record system.
