Clerk’s Office helps hundreds get back on the road

The St. Johns County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller’s Office has successfully concluded its participation in Operation Green Light, a statewide initiative aimed at helping residents reinstate suspended driver licenses and get back on the road.

Held from March 29 to April 12, this year’s event, designed to reduce financial barriers and support residents in paying off court obligations, had a meaningful impact on the community:

• 189 cases were paid in full, giving many individuals a fresh start.

• 16 drivers became eligible to have their licenses reinstated.

• 309 payment plans were set up to successfully transition cases out of collections.

• More than $84,000 was collected during the event, satisfying outstanding court fees.

Brandon J. Patty, Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller, praised the turnout and outcome of the event. During Operation Green Light, clerks’ offices across Florida waive collection surcharges on overdue court fines and traffic tickets under Florida Statutes 322.75.
