As the city filed it

This report seeks City Council approval to increase the penalty amounts for parking on municipal or private parking facilities which is governed under the City of Toronto's Municipal Code Chapter 915, Parking on Private or Municipal Property, to better align the penalty amounts relative to parking rates, which would ensure vehicle owners comply with payment of the set parking rates rather than opting to pay the penalty amount, which is typically lower.

Transportation Services has been working with various City agencies to review the various parking fees vs. parking penalties at off-street municipal / private lots. As a result of this review, this report seeks Council approval to increase the existing parking penalty amount of $30.00 for parking offences in Chapter 915 to $75.00. This recommended increased amount is in line with previously approved penalty amount increases for similar parking violations within "Green P" carparks. This proposed amendment is intended to encourage compliance in purchasing a ticket to park on municipal / private property and discourage the illegal practice of parking or leaving a vehicle on public / private property without consent.
