The state is ending night hours at the Honolulu Traffic Violations Bureau because of budget restrictions, the Judiciary announced Monday.

The Traffic Violations Bureau in the Honolulu District Court at 1111 Alakea St. had been open until 9 p.m. every Wednesday. That will end next week.

“Although having counter service available on Wednesday nights was an added public convenience, particularly for people who work in downtown Honolulu, eliminating the extended hours has become necessary due to budgetary restrictions,” 1st Circuit Chief Court Administrator Glennard Fong said in a news release.

Fong said people still have after-hours access through the courts’ Internet and telephone payment systems and said traffic abstracts and other documents can be obtained at any district court.

Beginning Dec. 5, office hours at the traffic bureau will be from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with counter service hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.
