Ticket appeal form
Read all information on this page prior to submitting your appeal.
Appeals must be received within ten (10) business days of the issue date on the ticket. Appeals received after 10 days will not be considered.
Fill in all the information. Incomplete appeals will not be considered. Information should be as concise and brief as possible.
If you have additional documentation you would like to provide the committee, such as photographs or repair bills, you may bring these to the Parking Operations Office to attach to your appeal, or take them to the meeting with you.
If you are appealing more than one violation, a separate appeal form must be filed for each violation.
All violation appeals are heard by the UMKC Parking and Traffic Committee, and all decisions made by the committee are final and are not subject to further appeal.
The Parking and Traffic Committee consists of three faculty members nominated by the Faculty Senate, three staff members nominated by the Staff Council, and three students nominated by the Student Government Association.
You will be notified of the date and time your appeal will be heard. You are welcome to meet with the committee at that time but your attendance is not required.
If you do not receive an e-mail response from the Parking Operations Department within five (5) days we did not receive your appeal, and you will need to submit the appeal again.
Notification of the committee's decision will be sent via e-mail within five (5) days of the appeal hearing.
The following reasons are not grounds for a successful appeal:
- Lack of knowledge of regulations. For example, being new to campus or have not read regulations.
- Other vehicles were also parked improperly, late to class or appointment.
- Disagreement with or inability to pay the amount of the fine(s)
- Lack of space
- Unread or misunderstood signs
- Parking for only a short period of time with or without flashers
- Parked in a handicap area without a valid DMV handicap placard or plate
- The violation is just "not fair".
- Parked at an expired meter for any period of time
- Parked at an expired meter because you have a permit
