Campus parking is regulated to help ensure safe access, efficient traffic flow and fair use of limited parking spaces. If a vehicle is parked in violation of parking regulations, a parking citation may be issued. This page provides information about parking violations and fees, how to make a payment, and the process for submitting an appeal.
The rules and regulations pertaining to parking and traffic enforcement on the Stony Brook University Campus can be found in Part 584 of SUNY's Policies & Procedures.
PAYMENT AND APPEAL INFORMATION
Parking tickets may be paid online through the parking portal or in person at the Parking Services Office (2nd floor Stony Brook Union), Monday through Friday 8:30am to 4pm. You may also mail payments to the following address:
