In 2019, the Government of Ontario allowed municipalities to use Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras in School and Community Safety Zones to reduce speeding and improve road safety.

Brampton has used ASE responsibly, following provincial standards and the program has successfully reduced speeds, improved driver behaviour and protected children and other vulnerable road users.

On September 25, the Province announced plans to ban ASE, jeopardizing years of progress and municipal investment.​

​Brampton Takes Action

​On October 1, Council unanimously passed a mo​tion opposing the ban on ASE and approved enhancements to strengthen road safety while reflecting resident feedback. Building on Brampton’s evidence-based approach, these updates focus on protecting children and vulnerable road users, targeting the most dangerous driving behaviours and ensuring enforcement is fair, transparent and accountable.

Key Enhancements:

  • Prioritize safety in school locations by limiting ASE cameras to these areas, ensuring protection for children and other vulnerable road users​.
  • Target the most dangerous speeding behaviours by maintaining existing speed thresholds during peak hours and applying higher thresholds during non-peak hours to capture excessive speeding and stunt drivin​g.
  • Implement a cap on the number of tickets that can be issued to a single licence plate within a set period, while excluding cases of excessive speeding and stunt driving.
  • Prevent unfair ticketing by prohibiting ASE operation for six months following a speed limit change.​
  • Reinvest in road safety by directing all surplus ASE revenue into initiatives, infrastructure and educational programs that promote safer streets.
  • Ensure accountability through annual reporting to Council on ASE program outcomes and revenue allocation.
