Parking Management Student Appeals Committee To better serve the students at Ferris, the Police Department established a student led volunteer group to hear and decide what the outcome should be for any parking ticket appeal filed. Parking Clerk Carla Hatfield serves as the advisor to the group. On-line Vehicle Registration and Citation Payments Beginning Fall Semester 2011, on line vehicle registration and citation payments through MyFSU and our web site was offered. The customer information for the Ferris State University employees and students is now pulled into our parking system directly from Banner. This allows our system to make the determination if the employee is full or part-time and if the student lives in an on campus apartment, residence hall or commutes to the University and assigns the parking permit accordingly. The citation payments can also be paid on-line through MyFSU for the employees, students and anyone else wishing to make a payment through our website. This has eliminated the need for individuals to come into our office or to mail in their payment. Parking Resource Management Program Another impressive statistic is being realized in our program to significantly improve parking at Ferris. An intensive focus of several years is now netting us a reduction in numbers of tickets needing to be issued at almost 60%! Compliance and resource availability is taking the place of widespread ticketing. Ticketing is a necessity to protect what people have paid to use but it can be a catalyst to a difficult relationship with much of the public unless problems are treated proactively. The ongoing effort continues for fairness and justice in the ways that appeals are handled. We have recruited Ferris students interested in serving on an appeals board to hear and act on parking violation appeals. A DPS staff member or other Ferris employee works with the students hearing appeals to answer any of the students’ questions about points of law or proper procedure. The students’ decisions are final on the individual appeals and their suggestions for signage or procedural changes are offered and most often incorporated. 33
Vehicle Registration Parking is always an important issue on campus because of the large number of vehicles and various types of vehicle operators. Students, faculty, staff, visitors, vendors and service personnel need to have their parking needs coordinated in a fair and consistent manner. In 2011/2012, 5,893 annual parking permits were issued to students. In addition, 732 temporary and part time parking permits were issued to students.
