Court information: This is a very busy Court in Columbia County.  Most of the traffic and speeding tickets seem to be issued from violations that occur on the New York State Thruway and on Route 295. The New York State Police and the Deputies from Columbia County Sherriff’s Department regularly patrol these areas. The Columbia County District Attorney’s Office prosecutes the tickets issued by the New York State Troopers.  The Sherriff’s Deputies prosecute their own tickets. This Court does not allow negotiations or plea bargains by mail for any traffic matters in this Court.
