OTHER VIOLATIONS AND
SANCTIONS

Schedules for parking violations, fines, and sanctions are posted in the public area of the parking services office and on the parking services web site.

1. Late payment of fines: Forty-five days after issuance of a notice of violation a charge shall be added to all unpaid parking violations. If a student or staff member fails to pay the fine assessed for any violation, the fine will be referred to the WSU controller's office for collection. The controller may, if other collection efforts fail, deduct outstanding fines from the salary warrants of employees or withhold the amount of the outstanding fines from damage deposits or other funds held for any student in order to secure payment. Where collection efforts are unsuccessful, the controller may notify the registrar to refrain from issuing student transcripts or to withhold permission to reenroll for a subsequent term until outstanding fines are paid. The procedures discussed above are not exclusive, however, and failure by anyone to pay fines may lead to towing or use of the wheel lock device described in these regulations. Nor are the procedures discussed above a precondition to towing or use of the wheel lock.

2. Impound by wheel lock or towing:
a. Any vehicle with an accumulation of three or more unpaid parking violations, or any vehicle displaying a lost, stolen, or counterfeit permit may be temporarily immobilized by use of a wheel lock device placed on a wheel. A fee will be assessed on vehicles which are immobilized with a wheel lock.

b. Any vehicle may be towed away at owner's/operator's expense if the vehicle:

	Has been immobilized by wheel lock more than twenty-four hours; or
	Is illegally parked in a marked tow-away zone; or
	Is a hazard or obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian traffic (including, but not limited to, vehicles parked at curbs or rails painted yellow or red or in crosswalks); or
	Cannot be impounded with a wheel lock device; or
	Is illegally parked in a disability space.

c. The driver and/or owner of a towed vehicle shall
pay towing and storage expenses.

d. Any vehicle immobilized by use of the wheel lock
device in excess of twenty-four hours will be
assessed a storage fee for each calendar day
or portion thereof, beyond the first twenty-four hours.

e. The university assumes no responsibility in the
event of damages resulting from towing, use of
wheel lock devices, storage, or attempts to move a
vehicle with a wheel lock device installed.

f. No vehicle impounded by towing or wheel lock
devices, shall be released until the following fines
are paid in cash:

	All unpaid parking violation penalties against said vehicle and any other vehicle registered to the violator;
	A wheel lock fee;
	All towing and storage fees.

g. Any vehicle impounded pursuant to these
regulations in excess of thirty calendar days shall be
considered an abandoned vehicle and shall be
disposed of in accordance with chapter RCW
46.55.

h. A person wishing to challenge the validity of any
fines or fees imposed under this subsection may
appeal such fines or fees as elsewhere provided in
these regulations. However, in order to secure
release of the vehicle, such person must pay the
amount of such fines or fees as a bond which will
be refunded to the extent the appeal is successful.

i. An accumulation of six unpaid violations during any
twelve-month period, exclusive of meter violations,
and overtime in time zone violations, will subject
the violator to revocation or denial of parking
privileges. Vehicles without permits which
accumulate the above number of violations may be
prohibited from parking on university property.

3. Failure to pay fines: Failure to pay a fine or comply with
other penalties assessed pursuant to these regulations,
after exhausting or failing to exercise appeals provided for
in these regulations, constitutes a violation of RCW
28B.10.560. A citation or complaint for such violation
may be issued and filed with the district court. Upon
request of the university, the department of licensing may
withhold vehicle registration pending the payment of
outstanding parking fines. WAC-504-15-830
