Committee Charge
The Parking and Traffic Appeals Board is an independent body of faculty, staff, and students who are charged with providing fair and equitable due process for people receiving Ithaca College parking and traffic citations. Board members serve staggering 2 year terms. The Parking and Traffic Appeals Board is responsible for interpretation of the rules, but does not make rules and regulations. Appeals must be submitted within 10 days of the date of the citation online. The committee meets regularly to review appeals and submits its decisions to Parking Services, who will notify the individual of the Board's decision via email. All decisions are final and confidential. Re-appeals can only be submitted if there is new information or evidence that an appellant wishes the Board to consider. Minutes are shared with Faculty Council, Staff Council, the Student Government Association, and the Dean of Students. This committee reports to the Dean of Students.
