Immobilized "Booted" Vehicle
If you discover that your vehicle has been booted, DO NOT enter or attempt to move your vehicle. Any such attempt can result in notable vehicle damage that Brock cannot be held liable for, and additional fines will be administered for.
Call or attend Parking Services during our business hours posted online. Please visit the Parking Services website for more information about how to Contact Us.
A parking boot is a device used to temporarily immobilize a vehicle. The boot is clamped on to one of the vehicles wheels (usually the front driver’s side) and is locked in place preventing the vehicle from being driven and the wheel from being removed from the vehicle.
If you discover a boot has been placed on your vehicle it could be for one of a few reasons.
- Your vehicle received multiple fines that remain unpaid
- Your vehicle is parked illegally
- Your vehicle is not identified in our database and is parked illegally or has unpaid fines
- Other
When a boot is attached to your vehicle’s tire, there are a number of precautions Parking Services take to ensure the driver is aware of the boot.
- The boot will be placed on the driver’s side front tire
- A warning notice will be placed on the driver’s side window
- A ticket will be placed under the windshield on the driver’s side
- Caution tape will be added from the boot to your driver’s side mirror to advise against entering the vehicle while immobilized
- Together, these will alert you your vehicle has been immobilized. Any attempt to remove the boot, drive with the boot on, or enter the vehicle, can cause notable damage to your vehicle that Brock is not liable for.
Parking Services and Brock University is not responsible for any damage caused to your vehicle should you attempt to move your vehicle or attempt to remove the boot from the tire. Attempting to move your vehicle with the boot attached will cause damage to your vehicle and the immobilization device. Any tampering or damage to the boot may be subject to additional fines and/or further charges.
When a vehicle is booted, a ticket will be issued for the infraction associated with the violation. Additionally, a Boot Application Fee will be applied to the account. Any attempted tampering or driving will result in a Tampering Fee, and any damage will also result in a Boot Replacement Fee.
Trained Parking Services Enforcement staff are authorized to use the boot as a parking enforcement option. If a vehicle is parked in such a way that prevents a boot from being installed, the vehicle may be towed instead.
- Sitting inside the vehicle
- Touching, shaking, kicking the device
- Any attempt to remove the device
Any tampering of the immobilization device will result in an additional fee of $100 added to the account balance. This fee is not appealable.

Yes. If a third-parking service vehicle has outstanding parking tickets, Parking Services may disclose information about those unpaid tickets to the service provider. This may include details such as vehicle license plate number associated with the violations. This disclosure is made solely for the purpose of administering parking compliance and managing campus parking operations.
EV Charging
Yes. Charging fees are paid through the Chargepoint mobile app.
In addition to the charging fee, all vehicles must either:

- Display a valid a valid Brock parking permit (excluding Lot 2 permits).
A valid parking payment or eligible parking permit is required while your vehicle is connected to a charging station.
It is your responsibility to relocate your vehicle once your parking permission expires just like in any other space. Leaving your vehicle in a charging space without its parking validated will result in a ticket being issued.
It is your responsibility to relocate your vehicle once charging is complete. ChargePoint charges per hour the vehicle is plugged in, so if the vehicle remains parked and plugged in, it will continue to charge your account.
If you unplug your vehicle after your charging is complete to stop charging your account, and do not relocate your vehicle, it will be subject to a ticket for obstructing a charging space.
General FAQ's

All license plate(s) linked to any parking permits and/or hourly/daily payments are the account holder’s responsibility. By linking a license plate to an account/permit, submitting an appeal, paying for a ticket, or purchasing hourly/daily parking, the Brock-affiliated account holder claims responsibility for the vehicle license plate, along with any risks, expenses, tickets, damages caused by, fines and/or fees associated with the license plate.
Anything obstructing a license plate, including plate covers, are illegal in Ontario.
Obstructed plates are subject to ticketing at Brock University.
