City of Toronto parking fines to increase on August 1 to support safer roads and reduce congestion
On August 1, the City of Toronto increasd parking fines for 123 offences to help curb illegal parking, stopping and standing in designated areas. Increasing fines can help reduce congestion by discouraging drivers from parking and stopping their vehicles in high-traffic areas and encouraging people to consider other modes of transportation such as walking, cycling or public transit to promote a smoother flow of traffic. β―β―
Some examples of the increased and new fines include:
β’ parking without paying at a parking meter (increase from $30 to $50).
β’ parking a prohibited vehicle on a bicycle path (increase from $60 to $200).
β’ non-electric vehicles or electric vehicles parked and not actively charging in an electric vehicle charging stall will be issued a $75 fine.
The fine increases (https://www.toronto.ca/wp...) were approved by Toronto City Council in April following a comprehensive review by City staff that determined increasing parking violation fines would better align the City with fines that are set to an appropriate level based on the seriousness of an offence and could reduce and discourage illegal parking habits, aiming to keep the City moving and safe.β―
The City does not communicate parking violations or penalties of any kind via text message. Residents are urged to treat such messages as fraudulent.β―β―
