If you received a traffic ticket in Monticello, Indiana, White County's current court structure provides a clear starting point.
Current county rules assign ordinary infraction cases to White Superior Court. Monticello is also the location of the White County Clerk, Prosecutor, and the county's BMV branch.
ABetterDriver.com offers an Indiana BMV-approved online Driver Safety Program for $28.95.

White County Clerk
110 North Main Street Monticello, IN 47960 Phone: 574-583-7032

Monticello Indiana Online Driver Safety Program
ABetterDriver.com offers a BMV-approved Indiana online Driver Safety Program.
Indiana-approved DSPs:
Must contain at least four hours of instruction.
Can be completed online.
Can be used for an applicable BMV requirement.
Can provide the voluntary Indiana 4-point credit.
BMV-Required Online Driver Safety Program
Indiana drivers with qualifying repeat traffic convictions can receive a BMV requirement to complete a DSP.
Follow the deadline on the BMV notice rather than assuming the court date and BMV deadline are the same.
Voluntary Indiana 4-Point Credit
Successful voluntary completion results in a 4-point credit on the Indiana Official Driver Record, generally once every three years.
Completing the DSP does not remove the underlying Monticello citation.
White County Traffic Deferral for a Monticello Ticket
The current authoritative public sources reviewed confirm the White County Prosecutor's office but do not publish a complete current traffic-deferral rule sheet.
Do not guess:
Speeding thresholds.
CDL eligibility.
Program duration.
Fees.
School-zone restrictions.
Work-zone restrictions.
Course requirements.
Do not assume ABetterDriver.com's online DSP satisfies a White County deferral requirement unless the Prosecutor or court confirms it.

35 mph on North Main Street between Fisher Street and Rickey Road.

This is a city parking rule, not a county traffic-ticket rule.
