Operation Green Light will be hosted from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 17 and 18 at the Collier County Courthouse, 3315 Tamiami Trail E. Operation Greenlight is a state-wide driver’s license reinstatement event. This two-day event allows drivers who lost their driving privileges due to unpaid fines to fully pay overdue court fines or apply for a financial plan without added collection fees.
Once overdue costs have been paid, drivers who meet eligibility requirements will have their suspended driver’s license reinstated and get the green light to get back on the road. Through the program, millions of dollars in fines and fees are collected around the state, which helps fund public services, as well as dozens of state trust funds that support criminal justice operations. These fines are a primary source of funding for Florida’s Circuit and County Court Clerks, which provide a vast array of services.
Interested participants must take note that they will not be eligible for reinstatement if his/her driver’s license or driving privilege has been suspended or revoked due to:
- Failure to fulfill a court-ordered child support obligation
- Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
- Failure to complete a required driver training program, driver improvement course, or alcohol or substance abuse education or evaluation program
- A traffic-related felony
- Being a habitual traffic offender as defined in Florida Statute 322.264
