How to pay your parking tickets/retrieve your towed vehicle

Matthew Rezab and Jace Dostal

Getting a parking ticket on campus, or even worse, getting your vehicle towed, is never a fun experience, but those fines need to be paid and cars need to be recovered. 

Here are your options.

If a student receives a parking ticket, they can pay it in six different ways, according to the ISU parking division website:

– Mail citation via campus mail to DPS parking, Room 27 Armory.

– Mail citation through U.S. mail at DPS parking, Room 27, Ames, IA 50011.

– Drop citations in the drop box at the customer service counter of the parking office at room 27, Armory Building.

– Bring payment to the parking office, Room 27, Armory Building during regular business hours.

– Pay through Accounts Receivable (U-Bill).

– Mail a check to the Treasurer’s Office, 1220 Beardshear Hall, Ames, IA 50011.

According to the ISU parking division, if your car has been towed, it can be found at Elmquist Deckers.
