If you received a traffic ticket in Riley, Indiana, do not look for a separate Riley Town Court.
Terre Haute City Court expressly has geographic jurisdiction throughout Vigo County and handles state traffic infractions within its jurisdiction.
ABetterDriver.com offers an Indiana BMV-approved online Driver Safety Program for $28.95.
Which Court Handles a Riley Traffic Ticket?
Terre Haute City Court 17 Harding Avenue Room 100 Terre Haute, IN 47807 812-244-2153
The fact that Riley is a separate incorporated town does not create a separate Riley traffic court.
Always check the citation or Indiana MyCase because some driving-related criminal cases can be assigned elsewhere.

Riley Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
Indiana's statewide DSP rules apply equally in Riley.

A driver voluntarily wants the 4-point credit.

Vigo County Infraction Deferral for a Riley Ticket
An eligible Riley infraction can potentially qualify for Vigo County's current Infraction Deferral Program because Terre Haute City Court's geographic jurisdiction extends throughout Vigo County.

$192.50 total program fee.
No current CDL.
No prior Vigo County deferral within 12 months.
Valid driver's license.

ABetterDriver.com's online DSP is not listed as a standard deferral requirement.
Driving in Riley: SR 46 and Canal Street
State Road 46
State Road 46 is Riley's most important state-highway connection.
Current official records use Riley addresses directly on SR 46, including state and health-agency records at 7500 SR 46.
INDOT mapping also identifies SR 46 and Riley Road in the Riley area.
For drivers, the important transition is between:
Higher-speed SR 46 traffic.
Local Riley streets.
School traffic.
Rural roads surrounding the town.
Riley Elementary School and Canal Street
Riley Elementary School is currently located at:
6050 South Canal Street Riley, IN 47871 Phone: 812-462-4449
The school currently begins at 8:15 a.m. and dismisses at 2:45 p.m.
Drivers using Canal Street around those periods should expect school buses, family vehicles, pedestrians, and turning traffic.
This is a stronger Riley-specific traffic topic than generic rural-driving advice.
Riley Spur Trail Planning
Vigo County has also participated with Terre Haute in planning the next phase of the Riley Spur Trail, including consultant design work approved through a county-city agreement.
This should be treated as a trail-planning project, not as completed 2026 road construction.
BMV Services for Riley Drivers
Riley does not have a full BMV branch.
The current Vigo County branch is:
Terre Haute BMV Branch 2920 Professional Lane Terre Haute, IN 47802-3300 888-692-6841.
