Colorado State University (CSU) Transportation partners with Rams Against Hunger twice a year to support students experiencing food insecurities. Contributions fund the meal swipe program, providing a nutritious meal at one of CSU’s dining centers for qualifying undergraduate students.

The Rules

• Cash contributions are NOT accepted at CSU Parking Services; contributions must be made online through the link on this page. Please be sure to include your CSU ID, license plate number, and/or citation number in the “Questions” tab of the Food For Fines fundraiser page. Participate here.
• A contribution of $10 or more will reduce a citation by $20.  Have multiple citations? For every $10 contributed, Parking and Transportation Services will apply $20 to each citation still pending payment.
• Feel like giving more?  You may contribute as much as you want, but you’ll only receive one discount per parking citation.
• To qualify with an online contribution, you must take three steps.
  • First, make a contribution online. Make sure to click the link in your confirmation email to send proof of your contribution to CSU Transportation.
    • If an email window does not pop-up upon clicking the link in the confirmation email, please forward the confirmation email along with the CSU ID, license plate number and citation number to [email protected]
  • Second, verify your contribution has been processed. Your citation will be reduced automatically once payment for the contribution has been processed. If your citation has not been reduced within two business days, please reach out to our office by email or phone.
  • Third, pay your citation online with a credit card or via your student account.
• Citations that have already been transferred to University Accounts Receivable are not eligible for a Food for Fines reduction.

The food for fines program is valid starting Monday, November 11th, through Tuesday, December 31st, 2024.
