Modoc is one of Randolph County's smallest towns, but it has two unusually strong local traffic features:
The U.S. 36 and State Road 1 crossroads.
Union School Corporation's entire physical school campus directly on U.S. 36.
Randolph County's official community page identifies Modoc at the U.S. 36/SR 1 intersection. (in.gov)
Which Court Handles a Modoc Traffic Ticket?
For an ordinary state-law traffic citation:

Current Randolph County rules assign IF and Title 9 cases to Superior Court.
No active Modoc municipal court was identified.
Modoc Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
ABetterDriver.com is currently an Indiana BMV-approved online DSP provider.
The course can be used when a BMV-approved program is required or when an eligible Indiana driver voluntarily seeks the four-point credit.
It does not itself dismiss a Modoc traffic ticket.
Randolph County Traffic Deferral
Complete current Randolph County public deferral rules were not verified.
A driver seeking deferral should contact the Randolph County Prosecutor before paying the ticket.
Do not assume the online DSP is automatically required or accepted.

Union School Corporation Traffic on U.S. 36
Union School Corporation remains open during the 2026-27 school year at:
Union School Corporation 8707 W. U.S. Highway 36 Modoc, IN 47358 Phone: 765-853-5464
The corporation currently publishes its adopted 2026-27 calendar and continues to operate Union Elementary and Union Jr./Sr. High School from the same U.S. 36 campus. (usc.k12.in.us)
Union Jr./Sr. High School and Union Elementary School both use the 8707 W. U.S. 36 address. (usc.k12.in.us) (usc.k12.in.us)
Drivers on U.S. 36 should anticipate:
School buses.
Parent vehicles.
Student drivers.
Athletic-event traffic.
Vehicles slowing to turn into the school campus.
Important Future School Change
Union School Corporation remains active in 2026, but state legislation is scheduled to dissolve the corporation in 2027. Current 2026 district materials still show normal board meetings and 2026-27 operations. (usc.k12.in.us)
This is time-sensitive.
Internal refresh: Rework the school-traffic section before the 2027-28 school year because the campus's use and traffic patterns can change substantially.
Camp Modoc Traffic
Randolph County's official community page identifies Kamp Modoc as a local campground/recreation destination. (in.gov)
That can add campers, RVs and visitors unfamiliar with rural roads around Modoc.
An older county road-speed action also reduced the speed on County Road 1050 South between U.S. 36 and SR 1 partly because the route was being used as a shortcut toward Camp Modoc and contains a steep hill. (in.gov)
That local 40 mph county-road action is useful background, but current posted signs should always control.
Current Modoc Road Work
No major active Modoc-specific U.S. 36/SR 1 highway closure was verified as of August 21, 2026.
Future or current bridge projects on SR 1 elsewhere in Randolph County should not be described as Modoc construction unless their project limits reach the town.
Modoc Town Contact
Current Indiana environmental records identify:
Town of Modoc P.O. Box 118 Modoc, IN 47358 Town Council contact phone: 765-914-3338 (in.gov)
This confirms current municipal operation without relying on an old private directory.
