Electronic Citations (E-Citations)

To reduce paper and eliminate waste, Transportation Services will begin testing a new e-citation system beginning Friday, July 21.  E-citations give parking enforcement officers the option of sending citations via email instead of printing a physical ticket. 

When a citation is issued, it will be emailed to the customer that is registered as the owner or responsible party of the vehicle. If the vehicle is not registered, the system will recognize the missing registration and prompt the printing of a physical ticket that will be placed on the vehicle. 

During the testing phase, individuals that receive a citation will have an easy-to-peel-off sticker placed on their windshield to inform them they have received a citation and need to check their email. 

The new e-citation system is expected to be fully implemented beginning this fall.  For questions or concerns contact Transportation Services at 205-348-5471 or uapark@ua.edu.
