Parking fines to increase April 1 MUSC uses the city's parking citation, adjudication, and collection system to support its parking enforcement program. In March 2005, the city made the following changes in the parking fine schedule: Residential Parking Overtime—from $15 to $25; Prohibited Zone—from $22 to $45; Loading Zone—from $22 to $45.   The city allowed MUSC to continue to use the lower fines until the supply of MUSC parking citations was depleted. The inventory is almost exhausted, and citations at the new rates will be issued beginning April 1.   To avoid receiving a parking citation, all members of the MUSC community are encouraged to park in accordance with posted and published guidelines and to request assistance from the Office of Parking Management when in doubt or when there is a special need.     Employees are not authorized to park in patient facilities except when at MUSC as a patient. All parking locations are controlled 24 hours a day, seven days a week, unless otherwise posted.    The Office of Parking Management and the Department of Public Safety parking enforcement officers issue parking citations on the MUSC campus. Hopefully no MUSC employees or students receive citations; but for the convenience of the members of the MUSC community, the MUSC hearing officer entertains parking citation appeals at the Office of Parking Management on three different days, at three different times each week. The hearing schedule is posted at http://www.musc.edu/parking; and the schedule is published in an insert which can be found inside each parking citation envelope.   For information, call the Office of Parking Management at 792-3665.     Friday, Jan. 13, 2006 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
