Citations
VCU Parking and Transportation enforcement and safety officers issue citations for vehicles parked in university parking facilities that are in violation of VCU's parking guidelines. Once an officer has issued a citation for a vehicle, you can pay the citation or appeal it online. After initial review by the Parking Appeals Officer, citations may be appealed to the Richmond General District Traffic Court.
Please note, the City of Richmond is responsible for writing citations (lime green tickets) for vehicles parked on city streets.
You have five calendar days from the date of issuance to pay and/or appeal a citation. For questions or concerns regarding the appeals process, please email prkgappeals@vcu.edu.
Individuals with three or more unpaid parking fines on their parking account may have their vehicle immobilized (booted), regardless if that specific vehicle has three or more citations attached to it.
- Vehicles identified while on university property will be booted, and the owner will be required to pay all outstanding parking penalties and fines before the boot will be removed. Additionally, a boot removal fee will be assessed.
- During office hours, all fines may be paid with cash, money order, credit card, or certified check. If a vehicle remains booted after VCU Parking and Transportation closes, owners may pay all of the associated penalties online. Following successful payment, VCU Parking and Transportation will remove the boot. If non-payment occurs, the vehicle is eligible to be towed at the owner's expense.
After payment, please contact the VCU Enforcement Officer at 971-0540 to have your boot removed.
