If a vehicle is booted for 30 calendar days and the owner has not contacted the Parking and Traffic Services Office the vehicle is eligible to be ticketed by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) or towed and impounded by a local towing company.
All unpaid tickets issued by AU must be paid at the Parking and Traffic Services office before your vehicle can be released from the towing company. AU will provide written documentation of your paid ticket balance.  The ticket issued by MPD has to be paid per instructions found on the ticket.
The costs of towing and storage are the sole responsibility of the vehicle's owner, ($100 for towing and $25 per day for storage), and must be paid to the towing company before your car can be released.
