Paying Fines Parking fines may be paid online by going to www.scapay.com. Violators have 15 days to appeal or pay the fine. After 15 days the right to appeal the fine is forfeited. If the ticket is ignored, after 20 days, a $10 late fee will be added to the fine. After 30 days, an additional $10 late fee will be added and the fine will be transferred to the violator's college bill. Fines accumulated by visitors will be assessed to the person the violator is visiting. Appeals In order to appeal a traffic violation, the registrant must file an appeal online at www.scapay.com. It must be received within fifteen (15) calendar days of the violation. The registrant will receive an email notice of the violation on the date the ticket is written if they have registered their vehicle. Further notifications will be sent as the due date and final appeal date approach. If the ticket is not paid or appealed in the allotted time, additional costs will accrue. All questions or suggestions regarding parking should be addressed to the Director of Public Safety. Boot When a vehicle is issued a fourth parking ticket, the Public Safety Department will apply the boot to the vehicle along with a sticker warning the owner not to move the vehicle until the boot has been removed. The registrant will be charged $75 for the removal of the boot. If the registrant has not contacted the Public Safety Department to have the boot removed within 24 hours, the vehicle will be towed. The registrant will be responsible for paying the towing charge. Tampering with, damaging, or removing a parking boot will subject the registrant to a $300 fine. Towing The violation of College parking regulations by individuals who have accumulated a fourth ticket in the same academic year will result in the application of the boot, and the towing of the vehicle if the boot has not been removed within 24 hours. The Public Safety Department reserves the right to immediately tow vehicles which are in dangerous positions or are creating a hazardous condition. In addition, the Public Safety Department also reserves the right to immediately tow any vehicle which, through its reckless operation, has created a danger to the College community. Vehicles may also be towed immediately from tow-away zones, fire lanes, and roadways or driveways that they are blocking. Furthermore, vehicles may also be towed when registrants refuse to identify themselves. Banishment After five offenses, the driver may be "banned" and not permitted to park or drive any vehicle on campus for the remainder of the academic year. Drivers with fewer than five violations may be banned if any one violation is serious enough to warrant immediate suspension of all vehicle privileges. The decision to banish rests with the director of Public Safety. |
