Booting
A vehicle may be “booted” and the owner is responsible for immediately paying all accrued fines in the following circumstances:
- A vehicle has a parking permit and has been issued five (5) or more citations within the current academic year.
- A vehicle does not have a parking permit and has been issued three (3) or more citations within the current academic year.
Oregon Tech Campus Safety will have the ability to place a booting device on a vehicle in violation of the mentioned violations above. The responding officer will confirm all violation and fines with the Parking Services officer or the Cashier's Office before a boot is placed on a violating vehicle. When confirmed, the responding officer will boot the vehicle in violation and leave information on the vehicle's windshield advising of the booting and why it was placed. The violator will be given instructions on paying all fines at the Cashier's Office in Snell Hall before the boot is removed from the vehicle. The Cashier's Office will provide the violator with a receipt of full payment for parking fines that will be given to the responding officer. Upon confirming the receipt of full payment of fines from the violator, the officer will remove the boot from the violator's vehicle.
