The City of Madison's winter Fines & Towing page says that if your vehicle is towed, call Schmidt's Auto at 608-257-0505 to find it. Expect to pay a towing fee on top of the parking ticket, and the parking fine is higher when the City has declared a snow emergency. The City's page doesn't list what to bring when you pick up the car, so ask when you call. If you have questions about the winter parking rules or a ticket itself, the City's Winter Parking Rules page directs those to Madison Parking Enforcement. This covers vehicles towed under City of Madison rules; other communities handle towing on their own. Source: City of Madison, Fines & Towing (Winter) (checked November 2026).
