While Gronberg could not provide precise numbers at press time, if each of Tufts’ 9,000 citations was a $15 ticket, then the Public Safety department would have an income of $135,000 each year. With so many tickets landing on students’ windshields every year, there is a substantial amount of money flowing to Tufts’ Public Safety Department. He said that permit violations are one of the main parking issues around Tufts on Somerville streets. Jim Kotzuba, Somerville’s director of traffic and parking, echoed Gronberg. “They were usually from Tufts police because I refused to park where I was supposed to,” she said. During her sophomore year, Liistro said she accumulated “approximately $400 worth of tickets.”

Senior Alexis Liistro is one example of the most common type of parking regulation violator. They think, ‘I’m just going to run inside for a couple of minutes,’ but they end up getting a ticket.” “For resident students that have been here for more than the first month or two, it’s not just accidental,” Gronberg said. She added that she doesn’t think most students ticketed for this offense are simply making an innocent mistake.
The most common offense for which students are ticketed? “Not having a proper decal for that particular parking area,” Gronberg said. Every ticket ranges from $15 (for parking in the wrong lot) to $65 (for parking in a handicapped parking spot). The $440 car-owning Tufts students spend to park their cars on campus each year is only the beginning of the financial burden they may face, however.Īccording to the Department of Public Safety’s Supervisor of Administrative Services Kristin Gronberg, Tufts issues between 9,000 and 10,000 parking tickets every year. But compared to those at other Boston-area schools, Tufts’ parking decal prices may seem cheap: Boston University charges $943.50 for two semesters, and Harvard demands anywhere from $1,325 to $1,495 for the year. Price of a parking decal for one semester in a lot across campus: $220.įor Tufts students who choose to bring their cars to campus, high gas prices and endless winter maintenance aren’t the only costs.
