example of parking citation

CSUCI Transportation and Parking Services has a convenient and efficient "paperless" process for resolving the issuance of parking citations. Anyone who receives a parking citation on campus or in University Glen must submit their payment and/or file an appeal online.

Failure to pay or appeal within 21 days from the date of issuance will result in an increased fine and loss of your option to dispute the citation. DMV will place a hold on the vehicle registration.

This paperless process is coordinated off campus by Parking Management Bureau (PMB) at CSU Stanislaus and can be accessed by going online to www.pmbonline.org

Per C.V.C. 22651 repeated violations may result in the impounding of the vehicle.

Per C.V.C. 40248 reminder notices are mailed to the registered owner on file with the DMV. 

For more information, please contact Transportation and Parking Services by calling 805-437-8430 or e-mail parking@csuci.edu.

PAYMENT OF FINES*

Parking citations may be paid online at www.pmbonline.org or by mail at:

PMB Solutions
One University Circle
Turlock, CA 95382

*Pursuant to the California Vehicle Code and California State University Systemwide policy, payment plans for multiple citations or individual citations totaling $200 or more are available. For more information, please visit, CSU Channel Islands Parking Citation Payment plan (PDF, 869KB)

Late Payment of Fines

Failure to submit payment within 21 calendar days of the citation issue date will result in the mailing of a “Notice of Intent” to refer the delinquent account to collections. Failure to respond to the “Notice of Intent” within 14 calendar days will result in a fine increase, student account hold, and vehicle registration hold placed at the California DMV. Please contact Transportation and Parking Services at 805-437-8430 once citation is paid to remove student account hold.

Appeal of Citation

Parking citation appeals may be requested online at www.pmbonline.org. Transportation and Parking Services reviews the citation and the contestant will be notified of results by email. The following reasons are not considered for appeal:

  • Ignorance of parking rules and regulations
  • Failure to see/read signage
  • Failure to locate a parking space, parking or stopping for a short period of time
  • Expired meter/time (not related to a mechanical malfunction)
  • Expiration of the 14 calendar day period following the mailing of the “Notice of Intent.”

Parking citation appeals must be filed within 21 calendar days from the issue date of the citation. Appeals received after the grace period are not eligible for review. Contestants must contact the Transportation and Parking Services office if they have not received a response to an appeal within 21 days of filing. Contestants are still responsible for the citation, even if they do not receive a response. CSUCI follows the procedures for contesting parking violations as stated in the California Vehicle Code, Section 40215.

Administrative Hearings

To contest the results of the initial citation review, contestants have 21 calendar days from the date of decision to request an Administrative Hearing. A request for an Administrative Hearing can be made online at www.pmbonline.org. The person requesting a hearing shall have the choice of a hearing by phone or in person (C.V.C. 40215(c)). In addition, the “full” amount of the parking penalty due must accompany the written request. Requests that do not meet the required deadline or include the full payment of the parking penalty will not be eligible for further review, and the decision of the issuing officer will stand. The citation will be processed pursuant to California Vehicle Code, Section 40220(a).

Financial Hardship

Assembly Bill 1228 (C.V.C. 40215(b)) allows a person to request a hearing without payment of the parking penalty upon satisfactory proof of inability to pay the amount due. If due to financial hardship, a request may be made to waive the required penalty deposit by completing a “Waiver of Penalty Deposit” form. This information must be submitted prior to the request for an Administrative Hearing.

Location of Hearings (In-Person)

Hearings are held at Transportation and Parking Services located in Placer Hall on Camarillo Street. On the day of an appointment, violators/contestants are required to be present at or before an appointed time. Please allow plenty of time for parking, as permits are required to park on campus. Bring copies of all applicable documentation relating to your appeal (i.e., vehicle registration, permit information, placards, etc.) that you wish to have considered.

Notification of the Decision

Results of the hearing will be mailed to the address listed on the “Request for Parking Citation Appeal” form within 15 days of the hearing date.

Failure To Appear

Failure to appear for the scheduled hearing as promised will result in forfeiture of penalty posted. If you decide to forfeit the posted penalty in lieu of appearance, please notify Transportation and Parking Services at least two (2) days before your scheduled appearance. If you need to reschedule, then please contact Transportation and Parking Services prior to your hearing appointment at 805-437-8430.

Rescheduling Administrative Hearings

Persons requesting a hearing are allowed to reschedule. If you need to reschedule, then contact Transportation and Parking Services at 805-437-8430 at least one full business day prior to your hearing appointment. Rescheduling requests will not be honored if less than one full business day notice is given. If hearing is not rescheduled within one business day or an appellant fails to appear for their scheduled hearing, then the hearing will be conducted at the initial time. Rescheduled hearings will be held with or without the appellant in attendance.

Contesting the Results of the Hearing Officer

You will have the right to appeal the final determination of the Hearing Officer to the Superior Court of Ventura County within 21 days of the mailing date of your results. You will be required to process all necessary documents and post a non-refundable filing fee with the Court prior to scheduling your court hearing date. You may obtain all necessary court documents through the Superior Court of Ventura County, Traffic Division, located at 800 S. Victoria Ave., Room 118, Ventura, California 93009.
