As the city filed it

Speed continues to be a leading cause of fatal and serious collisions in Ontario, contributing to approximately 21 percent of traffic-related fatalities. Automated Speed Enforcement is a key component of the City's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan and a proven tool for reducing speeding and improving safety, particularly in School and Community Safety Zones. Toronto's Automated Speed Enforcement program launched in January 2020 with 50 mobile Automated Speed Enforcement cameras enforcing posted speed limits in Community Safety Zones across the City.

As directed by City Council, the program was expanded to 75 cameras in 2023 and further expanded to 150 in early 2025. Recently, City Council has made several requests to adapt the current operation of the Automated Speed Enforcement program including considering modifying the hours of operation, limiting the number of tickets a driver receives within a specific time period, and enhancing signage that alerts drivers to the presence of speed cameras. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the changes that will be made to the Automated Speed Enforcement program, subject to legislation being in effect that permits municipalities in Ontario to operate Automated Speed Enforcement.
