Initial IDRC Class Scheduling

The Intoxicated Drivers Program (IDP) in Trenton is directly responsible for scheduling every client. Clients will receive a scheduling notice in the mail at the address that was provided to the court at the time of sentencing. Please note this process can take 2-4 weeks. For questions about original scheduling, please call 609-815-3100. The Passaic Intoxicated Drivers Resource Center (IDRC) does not do any original scheduling. Class walk-ins are not accepted.

RESCHEDULING of an Initial Class Date

According to NJ State Regulations 10:162-3.3; No client shall be permitted to reschedule an IDRC class date without the follow documentation being received by the IDRC office within 10 days of the scheduled class date:

3. Family emergency- illness / documented by medical/ school/ professional
