Why did I get a citation and what are the types of violations?

Your physical citation will include your violation type and any notes that the enforcement officer felt were necessary to include. The citations are also viewable by logging into your JayPark account. You can search by plate number of citation number on JayPark as well. Time stamped images are included in the citation and are viewable at anytime on JayPark.

Section 3: Enforcement

3.1 Immobilization Unregistered vehicles with 3 or more citations will receive a warning. If still unregistered by the 4th citation, they will be immobilized and charged an additional fee.

3.2 Towing Policy Vehicles with 4 or more citations receive a warning; 5 or more citations may lead to towing without further notice—even if previous fines are paid.

3.3 Tow Dispatch Fees If a tow truck is dispatched and the driver arrives beforehand, a fee may still be charged by the towing company.

3.4 Disciplinary Referrals Chronic violations will result in disciplinary referrals and loss of campus parking privileges.
