State of Washington adds fee to disability parking fines

Disability parking at WSU is vital for those who need access to campus destinations. As such, the fine for illegally parking in a disability space is currently $250. Due to a change in Washington State law, on November 1, 2017, we began assessing an additional $200 to each fine (RCW 46.19.050), bringing the total fine to $450.

Administered by the Washington State Department of Transportation, the additional $200 dollars will go towards improving special needs transportation across the state. The allocation breakdown is as follows, $100 will be deposited into the Washington State Accessible Communities account (RCW 50.40.071), and $100 will be deposited into the Washington State Multimodal Transportation account (RCW 47.66.070).

Please contact WSU Transportation Services with any questions you may have regarding this additional fee.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
