Parking Citation Appeals

An individual who has received notice of a parking citation may appeal the fine within ten (10) days of issuance of the citation via the Appeals Section of the Park@Brown. After the 10 day appeal period has expired, the ticket will no longer be eligible for appeal.

You must sign in using your brown credentials or create a guest account to submit an appeal.  If you receive an error, please make sure you are signed in, the sign in is in the top right hand corner of the Park@Brown website.

The Administration will render a decision within ten (10) business days after the appeal has been received. The Park@Brown system will generate an email notifying the appellant of the Administration’s decision. It is the responsibility of the person filing the appeal to provide a current email in the Park@Brown system, as the appeal decisions are supplied by email. All appeals decisions are final.

Anyone who has difficulty filing an appeal through the Online Citation Payments/Appeals program may contact the Transportation Office for assistance at Transportation@Brown.edu.
