Revenue is generated from the fees collected through parking hang tag sales, parking violations, event parking, and meter/pay station receipts. All revenue is applied to the operation and maintenance of the parking infrastructure. Parking Operations is responsible for all matters related to parking, including parking hang tag fees, parking signs, and the enforcement of parking regulations.
