Toronto’s out-of province licence plates

Toronto HighwayToronto is planning to impose tough measures on vehicles that have licence plates that do not belong to the province and are repeat offenders of violating parking rules. Toronto Mayor John Tory wants to expand his zero tolerance approach to the fight against gridlock to include the vehicles whose licence plates are out of province.

The Mayor announced the policy, which began on February 2, 2015 as part of his crusade of reducing traffic congestion. The policy allows the city to tow vehicles that have out of town licence plates and are repeat offenders of violating parking rules.

Before the policy came into effect, Toronto did not have many options for enforcing the parking rules on vehicles with registration from a different province. With the policy in effect, the city can now tow vehicles that have not paid up to three tickets and can collect towing and impounding fees.

This will ensure that there is decongestion in the city by getting rid of those who have a tendency of not paying parking fees. The city will also generate revenues from the towing. The fees imposed are meant to discourage failure of paying parking fees. According to Anthony Fabrizi, manager of parking ticket operations in Toronto, there are a total of 120,000 tickets that are issued to licence plates belonging outside the province every year.
