TOWING REIMBURSEMENT REQUESTS

Prior to your vehicle being towed, you were issued a parking ticket. You must appeal the parking ticket before you can file for a vehicle towing reimbursement. Instructions for appealing the parking ticket are found on the back of the parking ticket or by calling the Parking Clerk's Office at (413) 587-1025.

If you are successful in appealing your parking ticket then you may submit a vehicle towing reimbursement request. You must supply a copy of the letter proving the ticket was overturned and a receipt for the towing charges. Your request will be heard at a Claims Committee meeting and a determination on your request will be made at the meeting.
