Enforcement
Campus parking regulations are in effect 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, and are enforced by employees
of the Department of Public Safety and by Eugene City
Police Officers who may issue parking tickets and
traffic citations. The Department of Public Safety
enforces parking regulations on University-owned
parking lots and metered areas within the boundaries of
13th Avenue, 18th Avenue, University Street, and Agate
Street. University meters on the streets are open on a
first-come, first-served basis with no permits required
for their use.
Meters are enforced during the times posted on the
individual meters, except on national holidays during
which the University is not in session. Meters are also
placed at some loading areas. The time limit on these
meters is 24 minutes.
Visitor parking spaces are also provided in specific
lots, by permit, and in posted spaces within open
parking lots. Visitor permits are available at
the Information
Kiosk and in the main office.
Tickets issued by the University must be paid at the
University of Oregon Business Office or Department of
Public Safety within 10 days of the ticket date (list
of violations). Failure to pay a fine or to
make a timely appeal
can result in an additional penalty or reductions in
pay. Monetary penalties and fines permitted under
Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 571-10-005 et seq.
and assessed under OAR 571-60-005 Special Fees, Fines,
Penalties, Service Charges as amended may be deducted
from student accounts, faculty or staff salaries or
from other funds in the possession of the institution
as provided by ORS 352.360(2) as amended.
Whenever warranted by the immediate circumstances or
when a vehicle has repeatedly violated University
parking regulations, a vehicle may be immobilized or
towed and impounded at the owner's expense.
Drivers with a number of repeated violations or whose
driving and/or parking behavior poses a threat to
campus safety may be subject to more serious sanctions
than mere fines. The University Traffic Appeals Officer
and/or the University Traffic Appeals Board may
recommend to the appropriate University officials that
parking or driving privileges be restricted or
suspended, parking registration be withdrawn, or
disciplinary action be taken against students or
employees who repeatedly exhibit illegal or dangerous
parking or driving behavior. |
