As the city filed it

This report responds to a request from the General Government and Licensing Committee to review the administrative penalty amounts (penalty amounts) for stopping and parking violations that typically occur near schools, creating localized traffic congestion and safety concerns for parents and students. Parking violation notices issued through the City of Toronto's Administrative Penalty System are meant to promote greater compliance with the City's Parking By-laws.

A number of factors may be considered when reviewing penalty amounts for stopping and parking violations. These include comparable violations, the impact of non-compliance, and penalty amounts in other jurisdictions. The penalty amounts discussed in this report are related to the most common stopping and parking violations that take place near schools. The proposed changes are based on existing penalty amounts for comparable violations that similarly address traffic congestion and road safety concerns, particularly for vulnerable road users. All penalty increases are proposed to come into effect at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year on September 3, 2019. The proposed changes are as follows: - Increase the penalties from $60 to $100 for violations taking place at any prohibited time of day for the following offences: - stopping a motor vehicle in a school bus loading zone; and - stopping a motor vehicle within nine metres of a school crossing. - Increase the penalties from $60 to $100 for violations taking place outside of rush hour periods for the following offences: - stopping a motor vehicle during a prohibited time; and - standing a motor vehicle during a prohibited time. - Introduce a new offence for stopping a motor vehicle on the boulevard and an associated penalty of $150.
