Members of the general public who habitually or flagrantly disregard GULC parking regulations shall have their vehicles impounded and be responsible for all citation and impound fees.

 

Payment of Citation Fees

All fines associated with violations to this policy must be paid to GULC Parking, Rm. 104, 600 New Jersey Ave., NW .

 

Citations must be paid in full or appealed within seven (7) business days of issuance. Delinquent Citation Payments: A citation not paid after seven (7) business days will result in a $5 late charge, unless an appeal has been filed. Late charges will continue to accrue on if payment is not received at a rate of $10 for the next 7 days, $20 for the next 7 days, etc. These charges may be assessed on the student's account. Three or more unpaid or non-appealed citations will result in the loss of parking privileges.

 

Appeals Process and Review

Currently all appeals can be made in the Department of Public Safety, McDonough Hall, rm. 125. Please bring the ticket and any substantiating evidence. Citations for parking in a fire zone will not be dismissed.

 

Metro Card Program

All employees who wish to be on Metro payroll deduction must first register with the Parking Office. Bring your Georgetown ID when registering. You must be a Full Time employee in order to participate in the program. To limit exposure to loss or theft, MetroChek fare card inventory should equal one month's needs per payroll deduction listing, plus a few extra fare cards on hand to cover possible errors from payroll.
