It only gets worse if you don t. Last year, the university sold 4,600 parking permits to students, according to Roy. Roy also pointed out that parking is an auxiliary, meaning that it functions separate from other University programs. There is no state money provided to offset the expenses of parking services, which include the building of facilities, the installation of meters, and maintenance. Someone pays for it, you just might not see it initially.
Parking tickets help to pay for the cost of the parking system if the first place.
Roy said most people think the system fails when they have to pay parking tickets, but the benefit of the system is that students do not have to pay for parking service expenses on their tuition. But students do have to pay the tickets they receive. Because Colorado state law allows the Board of Regents to set up their own parking laws and regulations, unpaid parking tickets can result in consequences other than fines, Roy said. Current students will have a registration stop placed for the upcoming semester. Graduating students will have their diploma held, while former or graduate students will have a transcript stop placed.
