City of Toronto expands Administrative Penalty System to include automated road safety tools
Starting today, the City of Toronto is expanding its Administrative Penalty System (APS) to to make it easier, more convenient and accessible to dispute Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) and Red-Light Camera (RLC) violations. Vehicle owners who receive an ASE or RLC violation that occurred on or after Monday, January 20 can dispute the violation online at toronto.ca/aps.
In 2017, the City, as part of its commitment to customer service improvements, introduced APS to enable motorists to dispute parking violations through an administrative review process instead of a court-based system. Since its implementation, APS has streamlined the dispute process for parking violations, offering timely, fair and efficient resolution.
Following the City’s successful introduction of APS for parking violations and its commitment to road safety in the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan (www.toronto.ca/visionzero), the City is now expanding APS to include RLC and ASE violations. Both RLC and ASE are important tools in the Vision Zero plan, which prioritizes the safety of Toronto’s most vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, people cycling, school children and older adults.
How to request a screening review
Vehicle owners who receive a RLC or ASE violation that occurred on or after Monday, January 20 can request a screening to dispute a violation.
All screenings are conducted online unless a request for accommodation is approved. Decisions on screening reviews will be sent via email to the vehicle owner.
Similar to parking violation disputes, reviews will be conducted by a City screening officer who can affirm, vary or cancel penalties and is authorized to give people additional time to pay the penalty fee.
If the vehicle owner is not satisfied with the penalty review decision, a second and final review can be requested with the Administrative Penalty Tribunal (APT), an independent adjudicative body consisting of public panel members. These members are appointed by Toronto City Council and provide a second, independent and final decision in a violation dispute.
