You will be paid roundtrip mileage at the current rate from your home address to the court’s address. You are responsible for providing your own transportation to the courthouse. If you have a valid driver’s license, the court does not excuse jurors who are unfamiliar with the court location or don’t drive in the city. If you cannot drive yourself, you should arrange to have someone drive you or take public transportation, if available in your area. If you have someone drive you, he/she is welcome to wait in the jury assembly room while you are in the courtroom.

If transportation is a financial hardship, please explain why reimbursement of your mileage would not relieve that hardship. Also explain if your transportation hardship is temporary or permanent.

If you need to use public transportation to travel to and from the court, i.e., bus, you may be paid the actual reasonable expense of such public transportation when the full cost is not met by the roundtrip mileage reimbursement. Public transportation does not include a taxi or ridesharing service (Uber, Lyft). In an emergency, the Clerk of Court may authorize the use of a taxi or ridesharing service. If public transportation, a taxi, or a ridesharing service must be used, the Clerk of Court must approve these expenses. If you are scheduled to report for jury duty, please contact the jury clerk beforehand to notify the court that public transportation expenses are necessary.
