Reminders

In addition to a paper copy of the citation left on the vehicle, RIT emails courtesy notices and reminders about citations if the vehicle is registered with the university. Vehicles accumulating multiple citations may be Barnacled.  A $50 Parking and Transportation Services administrative fee, as well as a $100 security deposit and 4% processing fee by Barnacle is assessed to the total amount due.  Once the Barnacle is returned to the return receptacle in Grace Watson Hall and checked in by Parking and Transportation Services personnel, the security deposit will be released by Barnacle.
