UBC Traffic Notice Payments FAQs

Payments must be received by UBC Parking & Access Control Services within the fourteen (14) days from the Traffic Notice Issued Date in order for the reduced fine amount to be applicable. 

Calculating 14 days: eg. Traffic Notice Issue Date of March 1, 2010 must be paid by March 14, 2010 in order for the reduced fine amount to be applicable.

Failure to pay the correct fine amount that is due within the fourteen (14) days means that the Traffic Notice remains outstanding; partial payments will be applied to a Traffic Notice.

eg. Traffic Notice Issue Date of March 1, 2010 with $30 due by March 14, 2010.  A cheque payment was received by UBC Parking & Access Control Services on March 15, 2010; the balance due would be $60.  The $30 cheque would be applied to the outstanding balance Traffic Notice of $60 and therefore have a remaining outstanding balance of $30.

UBC Traffic & Parking Rules
Section 25. Dispute Process

(a)  A Disputant may dispute the contravention alleged in a Traffic Notice on or before the 14th day from the date of receipt of the Traffic Notice.

(b)  If the Disputant fails to dispute the contravention alleged in the Traffic Notice within the 14-day period, the Disputant is conclusively deemed to have admitted the contravention alleged in the Traffic Notice and the penalty indicated on the Traffic Notice and imposed pursuant to the Rules shall be payable immediately with any administrative fees owed to UBC pursuant to the Rules and in respect of the contravention.

(c)  A Dispute must be submitted in writing to the responsible Hearing Officer, in a form provided by the Director, or in another reasonably acceptable form, providing a postal address or electronic mail address for the Disputant, concisely stating the basis upon which alleged contravention in the Traffic Notice is disputed and such other matters as the Disputant may wish to set out for consideration by the Hearing Officer.
