  ENFORCEMENT

  All parking and traffic rules and regulations are in effect 24 hours a day and seven days a week, including holidays and periods when school is not in session, or unless otherwise indicated by traffic control devices. The Department of Public Safety officer will place the citation(s) on the vehicle’s windshield under the wiper blade or on the driver’s side door window. This will constitute legal delivery of the citation to the vehicle’s operator. Non-receipt of an issued citation does not invalidate the citation.

  A. Violations of any 91福利社 or City of Detroit parking or traffic regulations may result in issuance of a 91福利社 or City of Detroit citation.

  B. 91福利社 citations may be settled in person or by mail. Payment must be made at the Student Accounting Office. If payment is made in person within 24 hours, the ticket fine is 50% of total cost. The 50% reduction does not include fees assessed for towing and/or booting. City of Detroit Citations must be settled through the City of Detroit (instructions are on the back of ticket).

  C. When a 91福利社 citation is issued, the recipient has 24 hours to pay and reduce the fine by 50% or 10 business days to pay or appeal the citation. Appeal forms are available at the Department of Public Safety or on the Department of Public Safety website. Failure to pay or appeal within ten business days will result in a registration hold being placed on the student's account. If payment is 30 days overdue the account may receive additional fines and sent to the Student Accounting Office for payment. Students may check on their fine status by visiting the Department of Public Safety Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or calling (313) 993-1235. Students may also check their Banner account if all fines have been applied.

  a. Chief/director of the Department of Public Safety
  b. Corktown representative
  c. Law School representative
  d. McNichols representative
  e. Student Life representative

  E. Altering and duplicating a permit may result in suspending or revoking a permit and its privileges.

  F. A person who parks in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation and does not receive a violation notice does not mean that the law, ordinance or regulation is no longer in effect.

  G. The amount of time a vehicle is parked in violation (i.e., five minutes) does not warrant the vehicle not being cited.

  H. The operation of a motor vehicle on 91福利社 property is a privilege and not a right. Repeated or serious violations of safety or parking regulation may result in revocation of the parking privilege.

  I. All vehicles must be operated in a safe manner at all times. Pedestrians have the right of way over vehicles in all circumstances.

  The University reserves the right to remove the following from campus:

  A. Any vehicle that is parked in such a manner as to constitute a hazard or that impedes vehicular or emergency equipment, or the making of essential repairs and/or deliveries.
  B. Any vehicle with an unauthorized or altered parking permit or decal.
  C. Vehicles repeatedly found on campus without a valid University parking permit. In these instances, removal shall be made regardless of the knowledge that said vehicle belongs to or is operated by a person eligible for University parking permit privileges.
