Persons wishing to appeal a parking or traffic citation should initiate an appeal by filing a Parking or Traffic Citation Appeal Form with the Auxiliary Services/Parking and Transportation Office. These appeal forms can be obtained at the Parking and Transportation office or printing the Parking or Traffic Citation Appeal form (PDF) link below from the Parking and Transportation Web site.  All appeals must be initiated within seven (7) days of the citation issue date.

Parking or Traffic Citation Appeals will NOT be considered for the following reasons.

• Fire lane violation
• Not knowing or lack of knowledge of Parking Regulations
• Inability to find a proper convenient parking space
• Financial hardship caused by the fine
• Someone else driving your car
  
  

Persons appealing for reasons (i.e., disabled vehicle or temporary medical problem) other than those listed above may complete the form.  Complete the form in as much detail as possible, attach the citation and any supporting documentation (i.e., repair bill, doctor’s note, police report, etc.) to the form and return it to the Auxiliary Services/Parking and Transportation Office (located in Warwick Center).  All appeals must be submitted to the parking office within seven (7) days of the citation issue date.  The appellant may request permission from the Director of Auxiliary Services to present an appeal in person.  The Parking and Traffic Citation Board will review policies and documentation associated with the violation and consider any circumstances you describe.
