CSU's parking services is mostly kept funded by fines. Parking services gives out more than 82,000 tickets a year, Rios said that could easily be over 100,000 if they had more ticketers working. Right now there are only three full-time ticketers for parking services and about 45 to 60 hourly workers who are students. Therefore, this would cause the rise of parking prices for everyone. If a person feels they have received a parking citation unjustly, there might be a way out.
Appeals are awayfor students to state their case and hopefully get out of paying the fine.
However, appeals are only given once and can also carry a processing fee ifthe citation is denied. If a student is issued a fine, they are given eight days to make a payment until fine starts to escalate. For those students wanting to appeal a ticket, it can be done on the Web, or the citation can be paid at parking services located in 201 Green Hall on Meridian Avenue. Visitors, however, are allowed clearance to park in any A, W, X, or Z lots if they phone in their clearance. If a citation is issued to the visitor given clearance, they can bring the ticket in the same day or day after and have the citation excused.
