or lots/decks.
(g)
Special events parking. When deemed necessary, parking
and transportation services may designate any parking area as a special events
parking area, and appropriate fees may be assessed and collected by parking and
transportation services, without regard to university parking
permits.
(h)
Signs or markings. The rules set forth herein are
executable when signs or markings have been erected or otherwise displayed and
provide notice that parking is limited thereon to certain persons or times; or,
when police officers or parking personnel are present and are directing parking
and traffic thereto and therefrom.
(4)

Parking permits will be required of all faculty, staff and students whenever
and wherever parking upon the land and property of the university. When deemed
necessary by parking and transportation services, temporary permits will be
required by visitors in situations where the visitors will be on the land and
property of the university for an extended period of time.
(a)
Application.
Registration of motor vehicles and issuance of parking permits will be deemed
authorized and valid only when effected through the appropriate permit
application and/or purchasing process. The permit issued will be the
appropriate permit for the classification of the person
applying.
(b)
Use of permits. The person to whom the permit is issued
is responsible for violations incurred against the permit unless notice of
theft or loss of the permit is reported in a timely fashion to the university
police department or university parking office. Car pool arrangements are
encouraged so long as the authorized permit is properly displayed as provided
herein. However, permits may not be resold or otherwise transferred. The use of
a permit without the permission of the person to whom the permit was issued, or
the use of a permit otherwise secured in a manner not specifically provided for
herein, or the use of a fraudulent permit, shall be deemed "unauthorized" use,
and the person displaying such a permit shall be fined accordingly as provided
herein; provided further that parking and transportation services shall cause
such permit to be confiscated and/or otherwise rendered null and void. Nothing
herein is intended to preclude further prosecution by the university or others

with other academic fees or at the time application is made. Funds derived from
such fees shall be deposited in a fund established for such purpose. Said fund
shall be used for, but not limited: the establishment, construction, and
maintenance of facilities for parking, equipment for maintenance and
enforcement, personnel, the acquisition of decals or stickers, signs,
construction and maintenance of parking facilities, traffic control devices and
other materials and projects for the control of traffic and parking areas and
for the maintenance, repair and extension of existing facilities, and to be
pledged in support of the payment of such bonds as may be issued for the
aforesaid purposes, and for salaries of traffic control and parking
personnel.
(d)
Issuance of permits. Parking permits shall be issued by
parking and transportation services in accordance with generally recognized
standards of traffic planning (parking formulas connecting enrollment versus
number of spaces), with due consideration given to available space and number
of parking permits issued. Student permits are issued each academic session,
quarter, semester, or other appropriate period upon payment of fees charged in
accordance with action taken by the board of trustees. Faculty and staff
permits may be issued on a yearly basis or for shorter periods of time as
determined by parking and transportation services. Temporary permits for
faculty, staff, or students may be issued for periods of time as determined
necessary by the parking and transportation services.
(e)
Issuance of
disability permits. Any faculty/staff member or student with temporary or
permanent mobility impairment who has received a state-issued disability
placard is eligible to obtain a university disability parking permit. All
persons who wish to utilize disability or general parking with their
state-issued disability placard are required to purchase and display a
university disability parking permit rather than use the state placard along
with a faculty/staff or student permit. The purpose of this policy is to help
identify where disability spaces are needed, regulate the use of these spaces
to ensure they are available for those who need them, and to discourage abuse
by people utilizing a state placard issued to another person. There are two
types of disability permits that may be issued: permanent and temporary. Prices
for disability permits are equal to the current faculty/staff or maximum
student permit rates. Parking and transportation services shall issue
disability parking permits in a manner that is consistent with the goals of
this
section
paragraph.
(f)
Display of
parking permits. Parking permits for any current academic session, or other
appropriate period, semester, when issued, shall be affixed to the motor
vehicle when parking in university parking facilities and displayed in the
manner and location as outlined at the time of issuance, or as otherwise
provided for by section
4513.24 of the Revised Code, as
presently enacted or as amended from time to time hereafter. All parking
permits for any previous semesters, academic session or periods, should be
removed from the motor vehicle. Authorization to park a motor vehicle is
complete when the permit decal/hangtag is attached/affixed to the motor vehicle
and displayed in the location described herein.
(g)
Refunds. Refunds
for parking permits will be based on an approved schedule which from time to
time may be amended by the board of trustees and administered by the cashier's
office or parking and transportation services.
(h)
Expiration.
Permits expire at midnight on the last day of the academic session, quarter,
semester, or other period for which the permit was issued.
(i)
Loss or theft of
permit. Any person losing his or her permit shall report the permit number to
parking and transportation services. The theft of a permit should also be
reported to the university of Akron police. An additional permit will be issued
at a reduced fee, upon the filing in parking and transportation services of an
affidavit swearing to the theft or loss of the permit. The fee charged for the
replacement permit shall be established by the director of parking and
transportation services. If there is written verification by the university
police that the vehicle has been forcibly entered and the permit stolen, a
replacement permit shall be provided free of charge.
(j)
Transfer of a
motor vehicle. If a motor vehicle for which a permit shall have been issued is
transferred, the parking permit shall be removed from the vehicle and the
parking office notified of the transaction.
(E)
Procedures.
(1)
Police powers.
The university of Akron police department and its police officers are
authorized and directed to enforce these regulations by arrest, upon view or
information, of anyone found violating the laws and regulations of the state of
Ohio, local ordinances, or these regulations; or, in the alternative, to serve
notice of such violations either upon the person found violating the same, or
upon the motor vehicle found in violation of the same. Parking and
transportation services and the agents thereof are also authorized and directed
to enforce these regulations to the extent that they may serve notice of
parking violations either upon the person found violating the same or upon the
motor vehicle found in violation of same. Said notice, if served, shall provide
notice of the violation claimed, the location of the violation, the time of the
violation, and notice of the rights of the person accused of the
violation.
(2)
Service of notice of violation and election to pay
penalty.
(a)
Notice of violation may be served either upon the person
violating university of Akron motor vehicle, traffic and parking regulations,
or upon the motor vehicle or owner of such motor vehicle found in violation of
same.
(b)
If
(i)
an election to pay the penalty, or
(ii)
a notice of
appeal is not properly and timely effected within ten business days from the
date of notice, the individual charged will be deemed to have waived his or her
right of appeal, and any fine or other penalty shall be finally imposed and
shall constitute a financial obligation to the university of Akron. Provided
further, that in such event, parking and transportation services may prevent
the issuance of future registration and/or official academic transcript of
credits until all existing fines have been paid or otherwise disposed of as
provided herein.
(c)
Any appeal
requested after ten business days from the date of notice of the violation will
be denied except that the parking and transportation services director in his
sole discretion may permit such appeal for reasons beyond the control of the
individual. A person upon whom notice is served or the owner of the vehicle
upon which notice is served may pay, within ten business days from the date of
notice, the prescribed penalty for such violation and thereby avoid further
prosecution for collection of any fine for such violation. All fines shall be
paid to the cashier's office or parking and transportation services.
Any funds which may be received as
fines or penalties shall be used in the same manner as those funds derived from
parking fees as heretofore specified.
(d)
In the event the
motor vehicle is registered in the name of a person who is not a student, a
staff or faculty member, and a violation is issued against said vehicle, the
parking and transportation services director shall determine if any member of
the immediate family of said person was, at the time of issuance of said
violation, a student, staff or faculty member, as provided herein. Upon such
determination, the parking and transportation services director may cause such
violation to be charged against any or all of said student(s), staff or
faculty, within the immediate family of said person and cause notice thereof to
be issued pursuant thereto. Students of the university of Akron are responsible
for the vehicles they use on university property, and any violations issued
thereon, even if the vehicle's state registration is in their parent's name, or
in the name of some other member of the immediate family, or other
person.
(F)

require relevance, and ensure the expeditious pursuit of information. The
appellant shall not be required to testify against himself or herself. If there
is a hearing, the hearing before the traffic referee shall be closed to the

If there are
three or more open parking violations on a vehicle, parking and transportation
services may impound the vehicle with an immobilizer. If a vehicle contains a

Upon the removal and/or impounding of a motor vehicle,
under the above set forth conditions, a towing charge and additional storage
and/or an impound fee will be assessed by the removing agency: and any
violation penalty will be similarly assessed in accordance with these
regulations.
Motor vehicles which are impounded
shall not be released to the owner until the impounding and storage fees are
paid in full. In the case of a vehicle containing a lost, stolen or forged
permit, the permit must also be obtained from the vehicle prior to vehicle
release.
If the owner or owner's representative
claiming an impounded motor vehicle furnishes evidence of his or her identity
and ownership, makes payment of all fees for violation of any provisions of
these motor vehicle, traffic and parking regulations (including surrender of
any lost, stolen or forged permit! and pays the towing charge and storage fee
to the lot where the motor vehicle has been impounded, or the impounding fee of
the university, such impounded motor vehicle shall be released to him or her.

her motor vehicle, he or she may file an appeal with parking and transportation
services for the ASG supreme court in accordance with paragraph (F) of
these regulations
this rule.
(3)
The university,
by issuing a parking permit to an individual, confers a license to such
individual to park in any lots appropriately designated for that permit:
however, the university does not guarantee a legal parking space to the holder
of a parking permit. The responsibility for finding a legal parking space rests
with the motor vehicle operator. Lack of space is not considered a valid excuse
for violation of these regulations.

is on university owned or operated property.
(5)
In all cases in
which a motor vehicle is parked, the position shall be such that the whole of
the vehicle is located within the boundaries of the parking space. The fact or
allegation that other vehicles are parked improperly shall not constitute an
excuse for parking with any part of the motor vehicle over any
line.
(6)
The fact that a person parks in violation of any law,
ordinance, or regulation and does not receive a citation, does not mean that
the law, ordinance, or regulation is no longer in effect.
(7)
The university of
Akron assumes no responsibility for the care and protection of any vehicle or
its contents at any time while it is operated or parked on land and property of
the university. All vehicles should be locked and secured when left
unattended.

individuals who are invited to attend and/or participate in short courses,
