Committee Recommendations
The Government Management Committee recommends that:
1. City Council direct the Director, Revenue Services to include information on parking tickets, on the City website and at parking tag operations counters to clearly state that monetary payment will not be accepted after 75 days.
2. City Council request the Attorney General of Ontario to revise the Provincial Offences Act to eliminate the 75 day deadline to pay a parking fine to any given municipality.
Origin
Summary
The Provincial Offences Act prescribes the rules on ticket collection and the extra charges added to set fines. The Act sets a 75 day period in which to pay a parking ticket fine to the City of Toronto.
This information is not currently specified on parking tickets, the City website, or at Parking Ticket counters because it is provided directly by mail to those individuals who do not pay a parking ticket 15 days after the date the ticket is issued.
The City website and the parking tickets do specify that failure to act will result in a conviction which carries additional fines and fees.
