Parking Permit Decal Required in Jamestown and Olean
New Parking Regulations

Effective during the 2004-2005 academic year, all Jamestown Community College staff, faculty, administration, and students will be required to have a JCC parking permit decal on the vehicles that they park on the Jamestown and Cattaraugus County campuses. This is being done to provide greater monitoring of who is on our campuses and to assure greater compliance with parking regulations (ie: parking in handicapped spaces without proper tagging, blocking fire lanes, etc.) Staff, faculty, administration, and students who park on our campuses needed to have the stickers in place.

Staff, faculty, and administration may obtain parking permit decal by completing the application form (attached below) and returning it to the human resource office on the Jamestown Campus located in the Hamilton Collegiate Center and to the dean’s office on the Cattaraugus County Campus located in the College Center. Students can return the form to the Campus Store. There is no charge for the parking permit decal, and you may request as many as needed if you drive multiple vehicles to work. You will receive a copy of the parking regulations and appeal procedures.

If you have any questions, please contact Susan Bronstein, director of campus-wide safety, at 716/338-1000 or 376-7500, ext. 2249.

2. Students, faculty, and staff may not park in the visitors’ spaces.

3. The campus speed limit is 15 mph. Speeding, reckless driving, or other moving violations are grounds for disciplinary action.

4. Students, faculty, and staff will be ticketed if they are parked in the following areas or for the following reasons:

• Fire and emergency lanes
• Loading zones and service entrances
• Visitor parking areas
• Timed parking areas after exceeding the time limit
• In two or more parking spaces
• On campus lawns
• Outside of designated parking lanes
• Handicapped parking areas, unless the vehicle is properly labeled with a valid disabled parking permit, appropriate license plate, or is identified with a JCC temporary handicapped parking permit. The JCC temporary handicap permit may be issued to current faculty, staff, administration or students and may be obtained through the Human Resource office at ext. 2249.
• Parking in a manner that obstructs other vehicles from a way out of a parking space or area, provided that the first vehicle is legally parked.
• All other areas marked no parking.

5. Fines

• Unauthorized parking in a handicapped parking area, blocking a fire hydrant, or fire lane will result in a $25 fine for the first violation, and a $50 fine for the second. Vehicles parked in fire lanes or handicapped spaces may be towed without warning at the owner’s expense.
• All other violations: $10 first violation, $15 second violation, $20 for each violation beyond three during each semester. Note: violations are cumulative and do not have to be of the same nature.
• Failure to pay a fine within five (5) calendar days after the issuance of the ticket will result in the accrual of late charges.

6. Failure to obey verbal parking instructions from college personnel may result in the issuing of a parking violation.

7. If a student fails to pay parking fines, he/she will be placed on financial hold, which will prevent the issuing of grades and transcripts to that student as well as prohibiting him/her from registering for additional classes. If a faculty or staff member fails to pay parking fines, disciplinary action may be taken in keeping with each contract.

Tickets are issued to staff, faculty, administration, and students in violation of a parking regulation. Questions regarding a ticket should be directed to Susan Bronstein, Director of Human Resources and Campus-Wide Safety, located in COCE. An appeal of a parking ticket must be forwarded in writing to the Business Office on either campus within seventy-two (72) hours from the issuance of the ticket; the person appealing should enclose a copy of the ticket and the reasons he/she believes the ticket is invalid. The appeal will be forwarded to the Dean of Administration. The person making the appeal will receive a written response regarding the disposition of the appeal within seven (7) business days from the date the appeal was received.
