Traffic Appeals BoardThis is an administrative committee. The following information is from the Committees page. See also Petitioning Citations

The Traffic Appeals Board was established as the body of final petition for all university traffic disputes. Its inception corresponds to the same year that the university began to implement parking fees. The committee's charge and authority are now contained in Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 571, Division 10.

The committee continues to meet in accordance with OAR 571-10-20. The committee hears appeals of decisions made by the Traffic Petitions Officer. If any university community member alleges "erroneous or wrongful ticketing or traffic citations on campus," a petition is made to the Traffic Petitions Officer. If said petition is denied, an appeal may be made to the Traffic Appeals Board. The appeal must show that the decision of the Petitions Officer was "unreasonable or arbitrary or was not supported by substantial evidence" (OAR 571-10-20).

The Traffic Appeals Board meets once a month from December until June.

The Office of Public Safety provides the staffing for this committee.
