Enforcement of Policy
Parking regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Violators will be issued a citation and may be towed, depending on the offense and number of pending violations.

A driver may receive a warning for their first violation. A second violation will result in a payable citation. After three citations, the fine is raised to $50 for each additional citation. Vehicles may be towed or booted at the owner's expense, if payment for citations is not made.
