Approved in Fiscal Year 2022
All citations will be printed with a discounted rate of $15.00 off the base citation amount*. This discount is ONLY valid for 72 hours from the time and date the citation was issued. This discount is being offered to promote prompt payment via the CSU GO Online Parking System. Citation payments sent via USPS must be postmarked within the 72 hour period to receive the discounted rate. Any payments postmarked after 72 hours of the issue date and time will not receive the discount.
As citation appeals may take up to 15 days to be adjudicated, patrons that wish to submit appeals should pay the citation balance within the 72 hour period in order to receive the discount.
The $15 discount will be removed from the citation base rate after 72 hours and the original fees will be reinstated. All other citation and appeal policies remain in effect.
*Please note that escalation fees still apply for patrons that have received multiple citations of the same type. A $15 discount will still apply on the base rate, but not the escalation fees.
Example: No Valid hangtag ($35 base rate), second offense: $35 - $15 (citation base discount) = $20 + $10 (escalation fee) = $30 discounted rate for 72 hours. After 72 hours, the original rates will be reinstated to $45.
