About can juvenile traffic ticket be transferred to juvenile's county of residence

Can juvenile traffic ticket be transferred to juvenile's county of residence?
My son received a traffic ticket in central CA. He is under 18yr, and must appear in juvenile court with a parent. Can the appearance be transferred to southern CA, or must he & I travel back to Fresno county for the appearance.
