The payment process depends on where you received the citation.

In the University commuter and resident lots, and in Stanford residential areas, parking citations are issued by, and revenues are collected by, Stanford’s Department of Public Safety (a division of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department).

In the Hospital/Medical Center area, parking citations are issued by the SP Plus Corporation (SP+).
