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.

Your first minor violation for an academic year(August-July) is no cost. This citation is not appealable. Other warning citations may be given out at the discretion of Parking Services and should be taken seriously. If a warning is received action must be taken. A warning citation should include notes on what changes should be made to prevent citations.

Below are the types of violations and the fees associated.
