The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Police Department and Student Government Association have launched the Tiger Ticket Forgiveness and Student Support Initiative, a pilot program designed to give students structured options to convert certain minor parking citations into community service or donations that directly benefit fellow ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students.
Like similar programs at peer institutions across Alabama, the initiative allows eligible citations to be forgiven in exchange for donations of canned food or other non-perishable items to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Food Pantry. The program offers students a way to turn minor violations into positive contributions, helping ease financial strain while supporting both their peers and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Police parking enforcement efforts.
Tiger Ticket Forgiveness Day will be held April 1 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Young Hall Cafeteria. Students may have up to two eligible parking tickets forgiven by donating items based on their ticket amount: five cans/items for a $25 ticket, 10 cans/items for a $50 ticket, and 15 cans/items for a $75 ticket.
Handicap violations and tickets issued directly by ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Housing are not eligible.
