Screening Reviews are conducted through online/virtual correspondence. Should you require an in-person screening or other accommodations, please contact AMPS@townofbwg.com.

Please Note: If you have requested a telephone or in-person Screening Review and you or your authorized agent do not attend your confirmed appointment, a $25.00 Non-Appearance Fee will be added to your total amount payable.

If you are not the registered owner of the subject vehicle, you are required to complete the Authorization to Act as Agent form in order to dispute the Penalty Notice.
