TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT
Public Safety personnel continuously patrol the campus and issue tickets/citations for violations of the Siena University Parking and Traffic Regulations.
A traffic ticket will indicate the violation and the amount of the fine. Fines will be charged to the person’s Siena University account. Fines may only be paid at the Business Affairs Office. New York State requires the University to charge tax on all fines.
Note – Fines displayed on citations include all mandatory NYS tax amounts
COMPLIANCE WITH PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL
Community members and visitors/guests must comply with authorized directives issued by Public Safety personnel or any other person empowered to enforce the University’s Traffic Rules and Regulations. Refusal to comply with such requests or directives may result in disciplinary action and or the loss of vehicle
privileges on campus. It may also cause the vehicle to be ticketed and towed immediately at the owner’s expense.
TICKET APPEAL PROCEDURE
Community members who have received tickets may appeal the violation to the Traffic Appeals Committee. The committee is comprised of Faculty, Staff and Students.
Appeals must be appealed online within 30 days of the citations issue date.
