If you received a traffic ticket in Kokomo, Indiana, the most important first step is identifying the court handling your case. Kokomo traffic infractions are handled through Howard Superior Court III, which the Indiana Judicial Branch identifies as responsible for all driving offenses and all traffic infractions in Howard County. (Indiana Government)

Kokomo drivers can also complete an Indiana BMV-approved online Driver Safety Program through ABetterDriver.com. The Indiana BMV currently lists ABetterDriver.com among its approved DSP providers and identifies the provider as offering an online and DVD format. (Indiana Government)

The distinction matters because an Indiana online Driver Safety Program can be used for a BMV requirement or voluntary 4-point credit, while a traffic-ticket deferral is a separate court or Prosecutor process.

Where Do Kokomo Traffic Tickets Go?

Howard Superior Court III handles Howard County traffic infractions and driving offenses. The court is located in the Howard County Courthouse at 104 North Buckeye Street in Kokomo. (Indiana Government)

Howard County's local court rules specifically assign infractions and ordinance violations to Superior Court III. This makes Superior Court III the primary court information Kokomo drivers should check when dealing with an ordinary traffic infraction. (Indiana Government)

Your citation still controls. If the citation identifies a particular court, appearance date, cause number, or other instruction that differs from what you find online, follow the citation and verify the information with the Clerk or court.

Court That Handles Traffic Tickets From Kokomo

Howard Superior Court III

Howard Superior Court III Howard County Courthouse 104 North Buckeye Street, Room 216 Kokomo, IN 46901 Phone: 765-456-2220 Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Indiana Government)

The court is responsible for:

Driving offenses

Traffic infractions

Most misdemeanor cases except specified drug matters

Small claims

Other matters assigned under Howard County's court rules (Indiana Government)

If your Kokomo citation is an ordinary traffic infraction, Superior Court III is the key court to verify.

Howard County Clerk and Traffic Ticket Payments

The Howard County Clerk accepts payments for traffic tickets, fines, fees, and judgments. The Clerk's office is located in the same courthouse. (Indiana Government)

Howard County Clerk 104 N. Buckeye Street, Room 202 Kokomo, IN 46901 Phone: 765-456-2000 Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Indiana Government)

The Clerk's published traffic-ticket FAQ directs drivers to call the office for information about paying a traffic ticket. Do not assume that every ticket can be paid online or that payment is appropriate before investigating a possible deferral or court option. (Indiana Government)

How to Look Up a Kokomo Traffic Ticket

Indiana's official MyCase system allows the public to search non-confidential court cases. You can search by case number, citation number, cross-reference number, or party information.

For a Kokomo traffic ticket:

1. Check the citation for your citation number or cause number.

2. Search Indiana MyCase.

3. Select the appropriate Howard County court when narrowing the search.

4. Review the case status, filings, hearings, and available financial information.

5. Contact the Howard County Clerk if the information you need is not available online.

Indiana Judicial Branch guidance explains that some traffic-ticket payments can be made online when the case provides a payment option. If the MyCase record does not display a payment option, contact the Clerk rather than assuming online payment is available. (Indiana Government)

What to Do After Getting a Traffic Ticket in Kokomo

After receiving a Kokomo traffic ticket:

1. Read the citation carefully.

2. Identify the court listed on the citation.

3. Check your response or appearance deadline.

4. Determine whether the ticket is payable.

5. Search Indiana MyCase using the citation or case information.

6. Contact the Howard County Clerk if you need payment or filing information.

7. Investigate possible deferral before paying if you may qualify.

8. Determine whether the BMV or court requires a Driver Safety Program.

9. Confirm which type of course satisfies the requirement.

10. Complete the required online Driver Safety Program before the applicable deadline.

11. Save your completion documentation.

Do not assume that taking an online Driver Safety Program automatically dismisses a Kokomo traffic citation.

Kokomo Indiana Online Driver Safety Program

The Indiana BMV currently permits approved Driver Safety Programs to be completed online, in a classroom, or by DVD. BMV-approved DSP courses must meet the state's curriculum standards and must be at least four hours long. The current maximum price established by the BMV is $55. (Indiana Government)

ABetterDriver.com is currently listed by the Indiana BMV as an approved DSP provider offering online and DVD courses. (Indiana Government)

ABetterDriver.com currently offers its Indiana DSP online for $28.95. The online course can be completed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. ABetterDriver.com also states that progress is saved and that students can switch between devices while completing the course. (A Better Driver)

BMV-Required Online Driver Safety Program

Indiana law provides that a driver convicted of two or more traffic offenses within a 12-month period may be required by the BMV to complete a BMV-approved DSP. Drivers under 21 are required to complete a DSP after two or more qualifying traffic convictions. When the BMV sends a notice requiring the course, the driver generally has 90 days to complete it or driving privileges may be suspended. (Indiana Government)

Voluntary Indiana 4-Point Credit

Any Indiana driver may voluntarily complete a BMV-approved DSP.

Successful completion results in a 4-point credit on the Indiana Official Driver Record. The credit may generally be applied once every three years. If another approved DSP is completed while the credit is active, the BMV extends the credit period rather than applying another simultaneous four-point credit. (Indiana Government)

Indiana traffic points themselves generally remain active for two years from the conviction date. Completing a DSP does not erase the underlying citation from the driver's history. (Indiana Government)

Court-Ordered Online Driver Safety or Driver Improvement Courses

A court may order a driver to complete a course. The BMV specifically warns that a court order does not necessarily require a BMV-approved DSP.

If Howard Superior Court III orders you to complete a course, read the exact language of the order before enrolling. If the court specifies a particular type of course or provider, that requirement takes priority over assumptions based on the BMV's voluntary 4-point program. (Indiana Government)

Online Course Experience

ABetterDriver.com states that its Indiana DSP can be completed fully online, at the student's own pace, and on different devices. The company also reports course completion directly to the Indiana BMV. (A Better Driver)

The Indiana BMV states that providers should allow approximately 7 to 10 business days for completion results to be processed. For the 4-point credit, the BMV says the credit is applied within 7 to 14 business days after the BMV receives the provider's completion notification. (Indiana Government)

Howard County Infraction Deferral for a Kokomo Traffic Ticket

Howard County's Prosecutor's Office is located in Kokomo and handles county prosecution responsibilities. The current Prosecutor is Mark A. McCann. (Howard County Prosecutor's Office)

Howard County Prosecutor's Office 220 N. Main Street, 4th Floor Kokomo, IN 46901 Phone: 765-456-2230 (Howard County Prosecutor's Office)

Important: Verify Current Howard County Deferral Rules Before Enrolling

I did not locate a current authoritative Howard County public page that publishes a complete set of traffic-infraction deferral eligibility rules, fees, program length, CDL restrictions, speeding restrictions, prior-deferral rules, or required course/provider information.

Because those details can change, do not assume that Howard County follows the deferral rules of another Indiana county.

If you are considering deferral for a Kokomo traffic ticket, contact the Howard County Prosecutor or the court handling your citation before paying the ticket or enrolling in an online Driver Safety Program.

A BMV-approved online DSP, a voluntary 4-point credit, a court-ordered course, and a county infraction deferral are separate processes.

Driving and Traffic Conditions Specific to Kokomo

Kokomo is the most urbanized part of Howard County's transportation system. The city is directly connected to U.S. 31, U.S. 35, SR 22, SR 26, and SR 931. INDOT's interchange records identify multiple U.S. 31 interchanges serving Kokomo, including SR 931, SR 26, County Road 100 South, U.S. 35/SR 22, Touby Pike, U.S. 35/County Road 400 North, and the northern SR 931 junction. (Indiana Government)

U.S. 31 and the Kokomo Freeway

U.S. 31 is the most significant highway-related feature for Kokomo drivers.

The freeway bypasses the developed parts of Kokomo and separates through traffic from the former U.S. 31 corridor. INDOT's interchange records show the numerous access points that connect U.S. 31 with Kokomo-area roads. (Indiana Government)

For drivers, this creates two distinctly different roadway environments:

Limited-access U.S. 31

Developed surface roads serving Kokomo

A traffic citation involving U.S. 31 should therefore be evaluated using the exact roadway and location shown on the citation.

SR 931 Through Kokomo

State Road 931 is the former U.S. 31 corridor through Kokomo.

The distinction is important because SR 931 operates as a developed surface corridor rather than the limited-access U.S. 31 bypass. INDOT's interchange documentation identifies SR 931 at both the southern and northern U.S. 31 junctions in the Kokomo area. (Indiana Government)

A search for a "U.S. 31 Kokomo ticket" should not automatically be interpreted as a ticket issued on the freeway. The citation's actual roadway designation matters.

U.S. 35 and SR 22

U.S. 35 and SR 22 form another important connection in Kokomo. INDOT identifies U.S. 35/SR 22 as a U.S. 31 interchange, while separate U.S. 35 interchanges also connect with the Kokomo area. (Indiana Government)

This corridor is especially relevant to drivers traveling between Kokomo and Greentown.

SR 26 and the Kokomo-Russiaville Connection

SR 26 connects Kokomo with Russiaville and continues through the western part of Howard County.

INDOT's current 2026 transportation program includes an SR 26 preventive-maintenance overlay project extending from the Clinton County line toward the western corporate limit of Russiaville. (Indiana Government)

Drivers traveling between Kokomo and Russiaville should check current INDOT information for work zones and changing traffic conditions.

Goyer Road Reconstruction

The Kokomo-Howard County metropolitan transportation program includes a substantial Goyer Road reconstruction project between Markland Avenue and Boulevard. The project includes roadway reconstruction and associated bridge work and is programmed across multiple phases. (KHCGCC)

Because project schedules can change, drivers should check current local and INDOT information before relying on an older construction schedule.

Current Kokomo Road Work

The current transportation program includes the Goyer Road reconstruction project between Markland Avenue and Boulevard. The program also includes related bridge and local roadway projects in the Kokomo area. (KHCGCC)

This information is time-sensitive and should be rechecked before publication updates.
