Summary

Toronto’s parking and red light camera fines are in crisis, with over 247,000 unresolved parking ticket requests and 130,000 unpaid red light camera tickets piling up — a system so slow it took eight months on average to review a single ticket. While the city collected $25 million from red light cameras, $17 million went uncollected. Neighboring cities like Brampton and Markham use escalating fines for repeat offenders — a strategy Toronto lacks, allowing some drivers to keep breaking rules even after towing. City officials are now exploring tiered penalties and heat maps to target problem areas, but even with overtime, review times still miss city targets.
