ALAMEDA COUNTY, CA — The Alameda County Superior Court has partnered with a debt collections firm to provide new payment options for people with outstanding traffic fines, court officials announced Monday. Effective July 1, the partnership between the court and Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP will allow court users for the firm's services.

Under the agreement between the court and the firm, people will be able to make cash payments at PayNearMe stations located at stores like CVS without incurring a transaction fee. PayNearMe stations distribute receipts to customers making payments, and the payments can be traced, court officials said. People will still be able to pay fines online with debit or credit cards, or by sending checks to Linebarger, according to the court.

Payment instructions are available on the Alameda County Superior Court's website.
