a ticket?

online. Complete

documentation, i.e., diagrams, permits, etc., including your name
and citation number to the Transportation Office. If you do not
have access to a computer, one is available for your use from 7
a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, in Transportation's reception
area, Administrative Services I at 2721 Sullivan Drive.
Q: How Do
I Appeal a Ticket?
If you're within the 14-day period from the date of
your petition letter, you can choose to appeal if you feel that
the ruling was unfair. (See Appeals Board
Procedures). File an online appeal request clearly stating why
you disagree with the decision and request that your case be heard
by a board of your peers. (Be sure you have also submitted any supporting
documentation, statements, pictures, etc. Remember, you
must pay your ticket in full before appealing.
Q: Can I
Appeal a Ticket that was reduced?
Yes, however, if you choose to appeal a reduced ticket
it will be heard by the Appeals board for the original cost of the
ticket. Example: If your ticket was $40 and it was reduced to $25,
the Appeals Board will review it for $40.
Q: I never
saw the ticket, what can I do?
You can either petition or pay the ticket (if you know
you were parked in that space at the time you were cited). Sometimes
students take tickets off cars, but the fact remains that your vehicle
was parked in that space.

else drove my car, am I still responsible for the ticket?
Yes, it's your vehicle and your permit; you will be
held responsible. It's up to you to recover your expenses from the
driver.
