Atlanta, Georgia – The Municipal Court of Atlanta has announced the start of the City of Atlanta Amnesty Program in a move meant to offer relief for individuals with outstanding traffic-related violations. This initiative specifically targets those who missed their scheduled traffic ticket appearances in court.
Eligible participants can have their failure-to-appear (FTA) arrest warrants waived from March 17 to April 21, therefore allowing them to handle their outstanding cases free from fear of being arrested.
Unlike other forms of legal infractions like code violations, which are not covered under this program, the amnesty effort is specifically for traffic offenses. Still, the emphasis stays entirely on people who have missed court hearings connected to traffic charges.

This specific amnesty allows people to settle their complaints through scheduled court-organized hearings. The court intends to schedule special calendar sessions during this period in order to expedite the hearing and resolution of these traffic-related issues.
Program eligibility calls for the individual’s outstanding warrant to be related just to traffic violations. Those who satisfy this requirement are advised to grab this opportunity to get their legal records cleared and prevent potential problems resulting from outstanding traffic violations.
Visiting the official website of the Municipal Court at court.atlantaga.gov allows participants to confirm their eligibility and find their particular cases. This portal offers the required information and direction on how to proceed with their applications to the amnesty program.

All eligible individuals are urged by the Municipal Court of Atlanta to act quickly within the designated period and move toward legal resolution of their problems.
