You may also elect to resolve your matter without the need of a virtual hearing by completing the enclosed Plea by Mail form .  You may complete the Plea by Mail form and plead either guilty or not guilty.  As part of your submission, you are permitted to provide supporting documents, for example a receipt for paid parking.  The Court will review your Plea By Mail form, along with all supporting documents and provide a response.
