The Wellington Village Council Workshop held on August 7, 2025, focused on the implementation of a new traffic violation management system in collaboration with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO). The meeting highlighted the various payment options available for violators, including online payments through trafficcitations.com, payments by mail, and payments by phone. A kiosk will also be available for residents to view their violations and make payments or contest them.

The council discussed the convenience fee associated with payments made by phone or online, which is typically set at 4.5%. Notably, payments made by mailed checks do not incur this fee.

A significant part of the meeting was dedicated to a public awareness campaign aimed at educating the community about the new traffic program. This campaign, which began on July 11, includes a dedicated school zone safety website where residents can access information about the program, including violation locations and frequently asked questions. A QR code on flyers and postcards allows for quick access to the website.

The council also addressed the dissemination of information through local schools, with flyers sent to principals and Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs). While some council members confirmed that schools had shared this information with parents, the extent of distribution was still under review.

Additionally, the meeting covered updates on signage related to the photo enforcement program. New signage is currently being installed, which complies with state law requiring that it be placed 100 feet from the enforcement cameras. This initiative aims to enhance community awareness and compliance with traffic regulations.

Overall, the workshop underscored the village's commitment to improving traffic safety and ensuring that residents are well-informed about the new systems in place.
