University adopts new parking policies, fines | The Good 5 Cent Cigar
Students at the University of Rhode Island will now face an $85 fine for their first offense for parking in the wrong lot. This is only one of a series of changes made to URI’s parking and infrastructure this fall.
URI Parking Services has done away with their old three strike system, which originally allowed three “warning tickets” issued before any further fines or towing. Now, the $85 fine will be for a first offense, with subsequent fines if the ticket is not paid within 14 days.
