Donations for Citations Drive Extended through Friday!

UK Transportation Services is extending its popular Donations for Citations drive through this week. Permit holders now have until 5 p.m. Friday, November 7, to make one regular citation disappear.

Big Blue Pantry (BBP) Director Andrew Perkins said he greatly appreciates the generosity of the campus community. This drive helps stock the shelves at BBP, an on-campus organization that works to combat hunger and food insecurity for UK students.

Students or employees who have a regular ($30) parking citation can pay their fee through 5 p.m. Friday by donating food or personal care items. Ten (10) non-perishable food items or five (5) personal care items will waive one regular citation of $30 or less.

Regular citations do not include immobilizations, impoundments, parking in fire lanes, ADA accessible parking violations, or improper application or use of parking permits. Customers with unpaid citations must also pay any other outstanding citations to have one waived under this program. Citations waived through the drive are not eligible for appeal.

Participating is easy! Bring your donations to our customer care center, located at 721 Press Avenue, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, bar soap, hand soap, razors, shaving cream, deodorant, and tampons or sanitary pads
