Here’s a guide to challenging your PSU parking ticket and winning them with DoNotPay (plus other details to help you easily navigate through PSUs parking laws).
Registering for PSU Parking Permits
Whether you commute with a bicycle, motorcycle or a car, you need to register them and get a permit to get around the university. There are parks designated for bikes and cars of students and staff around the campus. To get your ticket, you may visit the PSU transportation website or find your way to the office on campus which opens only on weekdays from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Here are the contact details:
- Address: 1 Eisenhower Parking Deck, University Park, PA 16802
- Phone Number: 814-865-1436
- Email: parking@psu.edu
PSU is a bicycle-friendly school and all bike riders are encouraged to register their bikes for free to prevent others from accidentally taking your bicycle.
PSU Parking Laws
It is also good practice to know the key laws governing traffic and parking within the university premises. Generally, you are not permitted to park:
- In a lot designated for on-campus students as an off-campus student
- In areas reserved for staffs and workers in the school
- In areas reserved for incoming guests
- In areas earmarked for intra-school shuttle and buses
- Beyond the time stipulated by the meter
- Outside the periods indicated in your ticket
- In a spot reserved for handicapped persons without proper permit
- Overnight at the lot
PSU Fines to Avoid
Breaking any of the above listed laws attracts a fine. Some of them are appealable while others are not. Here are the fines below:
| Violation | Appeal status | I have a permit | I don’t have a permit |
| Parking in a loading zone | permitted | $18 | |
| Parking in a restricted area | permitted | $20 | |
| Using unauthorized permit | Not permitted | $100 ( = additional $50 in subsequent violations) | |
| Parking beyond meter time limit | Not permitted | $20 | $20 |
| Parking on road, firelane, or curbway | permitted | $30 | |
| Parking on reserved spot | permitted | $30 | $40 |
| Using up more than one space while parking | permitted | $18 | |
| Parking on handicapped space | Not permitted | $100 | $100 |
| Utilizing revoked permits | Not permitted | $100 ( + revocation extension) | |
| Parking on lawn or sidewalk | permitted | $25 | |
| Parking in the wrong place | permitted | $20 | |
| Parking using a permit not registered with vehicle plate | permitted | $10 |
You should know that the amount of these fines tend to quadruple during periods of special events involving visitors to the campus. During these times, most of the school's parking lots are put to full use and it's best to be cautious where to park or avoid driving to school altogether.
