Working with the City of Toronto, cops targeted drivers stopped in no stopping zones during weekday afternoon peak periods from 3 to 7 p.m. across high-traffic corridors in the downtown core.

This blitz was in response to a City Council directive to Toronto Police and City staff to conduct two no stopping enforcement blitzes in 2025 – one by the end of June, and a second by the end of September.

Drivers who stopped in no stopping zones faced a $190 ticket

Between June 16-20, Toronto Police issued 1,760 tickets and towed 133 vehicles and between June 23-27, cops issued 1,460 tickets and towed 112 vehicles

In total across the two-week campaign, Parking Enforcement officers issued 3,220 tickets, and towed 245 vehicles.

The results of this initiative will be reviewed and assessed to shape future enforcement campaigns.
