Traffic and Parking Infractions

In order to keep SAIT a safe environment for all campus commuters and maintain a high-level of service for those that park on campus, infraction tickets are given to vehicles that do not comply with parking and transportation regulations.

Tickets range from $40 to $300 — if a vehicle displays a stolen, counterfeit, altered or illegally transferred permit, a maximum fine of $300 will be applied. Vandalism, property damage and fraudulent behaviour will also result in a maximum fine and/or restitution.

Three (3) or more tickets will result in the suspension of parking privileges and your vehicle can be subject to immobilization and/or towing. If your vehicle is immobilized a removal fee may apply.

Below is a summary of parking infractions and the associated fine.
