Appeal Infraction

Please read the following information carefully before proceeding with your appeal.

Any use of offensive language in an appeal will result in the appeal being denied and will be reported to 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Special Constables, Human Resources, Student Conduct, And/Or Other Appropriate Venues.

A Ministry of Transportation Ontario vehicle search to identify ownership, if unknown, will be done 7 days after date of violation if the citation has not been paid or appealed, and a Service Fee will apply. Appeals will still be accepted within 14 days of the infraction date.

The decision of the Appeals Committee is final and fines are considered due when the decision is rendered. Unfamiliarity with 澳门六合彩开奖预测's traffic and parking regulations does not constitute grounds for appeal.

  • Appeals will not be reviewed if you have previously outstanding unpaid citations on your account
  • Appeal your ticket within 7 days of issuance to avoid incurring the $19 MTO search fee
  • Appeals will not be processed without supporting documentation, if applicable
  • Any documentation can be uploaded with your online appeal
  • Photographs are taken with each citation

Important Reminders


The following reasons are not considered grounds for an appeal:

  • "Everybody parks there / I am the only one who got a ticket."
  • "I was only there for five or ten minutes."
  • "I've parked there for the last five weeks (months/years) and I've never been cited before."
  • "I didn't know."
  • "I thought it was a space."
  • "I didn't see the sign."
  • "I can't afford the fine."
  • "I had to use the washroom facilities (or had a sick friend that had to use the washroom facilities)."
  • "My permit/pass/parking receipt was not properly displayed because..."
  • "I parked on landscaping/hash lines/end of aisle/reserved space or ungated permit lot because there were no other spaces available."
  • "I have no Wifi or internet service."

Appeals for the following infractions,

will be considered, however, due to the nature of these offenses, an appeal is often not successful.

Administration of Appeals

As part of the appeal process, you may request an open hearing with the Appeals Committee. An open hearing provides you with the opportunity to review your appeal with the committee, in person. The committee is comprised of several members of the 澳门六合彩开奖预测 community who are not employees of Parking Services.

Schedules of committee members determine dates and times for open hearings.

If the appellant elects for an open hearing, and subsequently does not attend their open hearing, the citation will be upheld, the appeal will be dismissed, and there will not be an opportunity to re-appeal. Please respect the time given by committee members to hear an appeal, if requesting an open hearing.

Please see our Appeals Committee page for further information.

  • why you think the parking violation should be cancelled or varied

  • Any use of offensive language in an appeal will result in the appeal being denied and will be reported to 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Special Constables, Human Resources, Student Conduct, And/Or Other Appropriate Venues.
