Parking Violation Appeal Board
The Parking Violation Appeal Board will consist of a group of impartial students and/or faculty/staff members, as well as a representative of TPS. The Board will hold meetings once a month (with some exceptions). The Parking Violation Appeal Board considers only written appeals for waiving fines or revoking penalties. An appeal must be filed within 72 hours or three business days from the date of the citation. Any citation not appealed within 72 hours after receipt of a citation cannot be appealed. The decision of the Appeal Board is final. The appellant may attend the meeting and present a verbal explanation along with the written appeal.
The Appeal Board will review written appeals only and shall render one of the following decisions:
- Uphold the citation
- Dismiss the citation
- Reduce the fine amount to $15.00 for $30.00 fines or for other citations, one half (1/2) the fine amount. Individuals receiving a reduced fine are not eligible for the $5 reduction for paying fines within 14 days.
The Parking Appeal form must be completed and returned to a TPS clerk. The appellant must present a concise, factual statement justifying the appeal in the space provided. The appellant signs this statement, indicating the appeal statement is true. The appellant may attach an additional sheet if additional space is needed. TPS will assign for the next available Appeal Board hearing and provide a carbon copy of the appeal form to the appellant.
Grounds for an appeal*:
- Unjust or an unwarranted ticket
- Extenuating circumstances; i.e., an emergency, a vehicle was inoperative, etc.
*Hand-written notes left on the exterior of a vehicle, etc., are unacceptable, and will not be honored by enforcement personnel. *Activating a vehicle's emergency flasher lights does not constitute a valid reason to park in designated fire lanes or no-parking zones.
