Paying parking citations at the University of Houston is now just a mouse click away thanks to a new online system.

To pay parking citations online, faculty, staff, students and campus visitors can visit http://www.uh.edu/plantops/pts.html and click on “Citation Payment” on the left hand menu. Payees can access their ticket information online with their citation number or license plate number. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, said Bob Browand, director of Parking and Transportation.

“Paying citations online adds a new level of convenience to this process,” Browand said. “Having around the clock access to this online system allows users to easily pay tickets before fines increase. It’s also very user friendly.”

This new payment system is an upgrade to existing parking management software utilized by UH’s Parking and Transportation. The software, T2 System’s PowerPark, has been employed at UH since 1999 to record parking citations and to distribute parking permits.

Browand said that an online citations appeals system is in the works, but would not be implemented until either spring or summer 2006.
